UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Amiens, Hauts-de-France

The primary reason why I wanted to visit Amiens was to see Amiens Cathedral - Notre Dame Cathedral of Amiens, which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in France. Located halfway between Lille & Paris, and well connected by train from both cities, I honestly don't know why I took so long to visit Amiens! Not only Notre Dame Cathedral of Amiens, but also Amiens Belfry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a bunch of other things to do in Amiens, I planned my 3-day trip to Amiens from Brussels, by train.

Amiens Cathedral was one of the largest Gothic churches in the 13th C CE and an excellent example of high Gothic architecture. Amiens Cathedral is still the largest Cathedral in France at 200,000 m³ which is more than twice of Notre Dame Paris! It also has the highest nave at 42.3m!
