This cathedral genuinely makes you stop in your tracks - the sheer scale inside is astonishing, and the light filtering through feels almost otherworldly. Spend a little time studying the intricate carvings on the fa ade too; with fewer crowds than y...
Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens
I love the idea of coming back to C t Cath drale after a day of exploring and having a proper apartment to settle into. The one-bedroom setup with a king bed makes it especially appealing for couples who want more space and a relaxed, home-like stay.

Mercure Amiens Cath drale is a smart option for families or friends who want everyone comfortably accommodated in one room. The standard twin setup includes two twin beds plus a sofa bed, so it is particularly useful when separate sleeping spaces mat...
Hôtel Mercure Amiens Cathedrale
You cannot really miss Perret Tower when arriving by train - it is the first dramatic landmark greeting you outside the station. I like that it brings a distinctly mid-century, 1950s modernist note to a city otherwise known for older architecture.

Holiday Inn Express Amiens is the kind of easy stopover I would choose when arriving by train. The standard twin room has two twin beds, and breakfast is included, which makes the morning feel pleasantly straightforward before heading out to explore.
