With its canals, half-timbered houses, shops and café terraces, the oldest district of Amiens has become "THE PLACE TO BE" in Amiens.

Crossed by the arms of the Somme, the Saint-Leu district was born in the Middle Ages. At that time, water and mills provided the energy necessary for the activity of weavers, dyers, tanners and other millers. Today, the charm of the historic district of Saint-Leu invites you to stroll through its picturesque alleys with colorful houses, made of cob, wood and brick.

Designer boutiques, stalls, booksellers and second-hand dealers have now found their place here since the rehabilitation of this former working-class district in the heart of the city. Located a stone's throw from the University of Picardy Jules Verne, it is the place to be for a drink on a terrace and to meet around a good table. At nightfall, the theaters, concerts and shows create a typically Amiens atmosphere.
