Amiens, a great and blue city- France

The Hortillonnages : Also known as the floating gardens, the hortillonnages cover 300

hectares of small islands and are criss-crossed by 65 km of canals.

The ancient marshes were originally exploited for their peat and later for market gardening

purposes.

It is a natural reserve now,just a stone's throw from the city centre, where flora and fauna

enjoy a calm, protected environment.

They can be explored either walking along the towpath, or in a traditional boat
