Nice post, I live not that far and actually never got a chance to go over there.
Too bad you missed the Hortillonnages of Amiens, a nice mix between water and gardens which must be an amazing place from what I've heard.
Sorry but the only link I found is in french... http://www.hortillonnages-amiens.fr/
Hi, @bleader, I read about the Hortillonnages today in that brochure I included, and yes, what a pity we missed it! Thanks for the link (no problem re French - I come from Montreal). I must say I would really like to go back to that part of the world. The woods and rolling hills really appealed to me. Lucky you living near there. If you go to the Hortillonnages, please post so I can get some vicarious enjoyment.
Appreciate you taking the time to read! 😊😊
