Thank you.
If you want my opinion, Amiens is quite boring.

Hehe! Well, I've always wanted to see the cathedral. I've heard that it gets illuminated with colored lights or something so that it looks like it did when it was painted back in the 13th century. It's supposed to look amazing.

Boring or not, it looks interesting through my North american eyes. It kinda reminds me of UK. Does this city have a tramway?

A great collection of photos. I too would like to visit the cathedral. I'm impressed with how clean and well maintained the city appears.
