How to Road Trip to Paris | Amiens, France | City Centre Walking Tour

While on a road trip to Paris we stopped over Amiens a beautiful city in Northern France... we also discovered the truly magnificent Cathedral Notre Dame D'amiens (Amiens Cathedral) a splendid 13th Century Gothic Cathedral that is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

It is always fun to find unique gems, cities, or locations while on a road trip and Amiens did not disappoint. Check it out!

The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Amiens (French: Basilique Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens), or simply Amiens Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church. The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Amiens. It is situated on a slight ridge overlooking the River Somme in Amiens, the administrative capital of the Picardy region of France, some 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of Paris.

I toured France a couple of times with my parents when I was young and visited Paris shortly after Princess Diana’s death. It’s a beautiful country with stunning architecture. Thanks, Mac.

Paris is beautiful. I love some of the old apartment buildings - they're so full of history!

[jonnybravo]

Another awesome video 👍🏻. Don't fall in love with france too much as on Saturday at 7:00pm they will be our arch enemies lol. As you adopted Brits your family is hopefully with us. Waterloo part 2 😂. On a serious note I've learnt something as I thought you just drive through the channel tunnel 😳🤫. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[SharonMcMillan]

I enjoyed this! The Catholic Church builds its churches and cathedrals like no other ❤ Notre Dame in Paris is stunning. Once the repairs are done it will be wonderful to visit.

Of course you'll have enjoyed the ambience of Amiens. It was the headquarters for several allied regiments during the Great War, including two of the US ones which arrived in 1918. There are several thousand military graves at war graveyards in and around Amiens which my younger sons and I visited when they were 10 and studying the War at history class. It was very moving for each of us. Next time in France try the trip by ferry to Dieppe from Newhaven. It affords the chance to approach Paris along the Loire Valley and the great chateaux on that route, plus the magnificent cities of Nantes and Orléans. Bon voyage. 🇫🇷🥖🧀🍷

in france i believe they pronounce it notre darm, like arm with a d in front. well, nearly so.

[Damon-xrzf]

If you can, i suggest parking outside of Paris and using trains and subways to get in and around Paris.

[acommentator]

i'm wondering, could you expand into some short interviews with the locals maybe ?

[woodencreatures]

If you get chance go to Chartres cathedral. It's gorgeous and not far from Paris

[AJos]

You've seen the main things here in Amiens : St leu district and Notre-Dame d'Amiens. Not that it is a small city but city center is quite little compare to 90% of the city which are residential areas. If you come back you can still enjoy the visit of Jules Verne's house and the Picardy Museum. (a small Louvres). But that's pretty much all.

Thanks for your great video, I all way go by Eurotunnel it is so easy and quick. Next time try out Rouen and check out the Cherbourg peninsula, where in 1944 ww2 D day landings took place.

You must have a tall car, they put you in with the coaches. If you're in a less-tall car they put you in the car-only part of the train, which is double decked with much lower ceilings. That's even more claustrophobic!

Eurotunnel is pretty impressive, huge trains, a huge, long tunnel.

If you want the full-on French claustrophobia experience (round it off after the Eurotunnel), take a drive along the tunnel section of the A86 forming the south-west quarter of the motorways around Paris, between the D913 and the N12. That's a double deck road in a single tunnel bore, and the ceilings feel lower than they do on the Eurotunnel train! Costs something like €5 toll, but it's definitely the fast/quiet route round Paris.

Le Mont St. Michel, Normandy - it's hundreds of miles from where you'll be in Paris - so maybe an idea for another trip?

Lots of French cities and towns seem to call their cathedrals Notre Dame I have found on my travels as I assumed after my first visit to Paris 32 years ago that the one in Paris was the Notre Dame not one of many the first I came across was in Rheims Champagne country. I have visited Amiens a number of times to eat while visiting the battlefields. French cities and towns get a bit boring especially when you have seen everything that you want to visit or look at or seeing the same buildings for the 20th or more time, I found this out this year when I went to look round Albert in the heart of The Somme battlefields.
