The map
Amiens lies in the valley of the Somme, which splits into several channels as it flows through the city. On a map, the northern part of the centre is laced with waterways, especially in the old Saint-Leu quarter. To the east lie the hortillonnages, a large area of market gardens on small islands separated by canals.
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Amiens, begun in the thirteenth century, is the largest Gothic cathedral in France by interior volume, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Amiens is also where Jules Verne lived for much of his life, and his house is now a museum. Wide boulevards follow the line of the old fortifications around the centre.
An Amiens map poster shows the ring of boulevards enclosing the centre, the cathedral block rising above Saint-Leu and the Somme branching into many channels. East of the city, the hortillonnages form an intricate pattern of water and land that looks almost like lace from above.
East of the centre, hundreds of small garden plots are separated by narrow canals, creating an intricate network of water and land unique to Amiens.
In the old quarter below the cathedral, branches of the Somme run between streets and houses, giving the centre a fine web of waterways.
Wide boulevards follow the line of the former ramparts, drawing a clear ring around the historic centre and separating it from later districts.

Why Amiens
Amiens stays with people who studied there, visited the cathedral or explored the floating gardens by boat. Its combination of water and streets creates a map that is detailed and very recognisable.
You can personalise the title, the subtitle and the coordinates line, in French or English. Five styles are available: Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Blueprint gives the canals and hortillonnages a crisp, precise look.
