Hôtel Victor Hugo

Paris is certainly worth experiencing, but the rest of France has so much to offer, too! Spanning as far north as Lille and as far south as Bordeaux, this guide will give you everything you need to experience some of the best areas of France, outside of its capital. In the last few years, I've spent over 5 months visiting France and 1.5 years living here, meaning I've gotten to explore many unique places throughout the country. Since I live in France now, I'll continue to update this guide with new places as I visit them! I hope this guide inspires and informs your next, or first, trip to this incredible country. Bon voyage ! 🧳

Amiens is a charming city in northern France, known for its rich history, beautiful architecture and scenic canals. There is plenty to explore with kids and dog(s); here are my personal recommendations on how you can spend a day or two in Amiens.
