Apologies for being a little off topic
I noticed the Amiens pages here are a little bit round and about so I have taken the liberty to include my Somme memorial info in the off the beaten path section, although it is a very well beaten path.
There is also plenty to see and do in Amiens which is the largest city in the region and has an awesome cathedral . . . of which more later
Pros and Cons

Hey Chris.... got a postcard this morning. Thx so much. What a great place to celebrate... must have been a giggle with those tipsy two ;o))) A belated happy b'day to you x
Must have been a moving experience. Hopping across the Channel is all very well for those who live on the south coast!! Would take us nearly a day to get there.
Some B & B ! Looks like you had a good weekend.
This looks a lovely place Bil - love Sil x.
