De 300 hectare aan watertuinen van Amiens hebben het de bijnaam klein Venetië van het Noorden opgelevert. Het is een natuurlijke omgeving in het stadscentrum aan het begin van de Sommevallei. Vroeger waren het alleen tuinders . Voor mensen van Amiens werden er prei , kool en wortelen verbouwd . Tegenwoordig zijn er slechts een handvol Hortillons ( is het Picardische woord voor tuinbouwer wat dan weer afgeleid is van het Latijnse woord " Hortillus " wat staat voor kleine tuin ) die de zwarte en vruchtbare grond van de hortillonnages bewerken en er hun beroep van maken. Elke zaterdag verkopen ze hun produkten op de watermarkt in de wijk Saint-Leu. U kunt de Hortillonnages bezoeken op 5 manieren. In een traditionele hoornboot. Dit is in groep met een bootmansgids die u de geschiedenis van de tuinen vertelt. ( 8€ pp. - duur 45 minuten ) Vertrek : La Maison des Hortillonnages. Bestel uw tickets best op voorhand want aan de kassa kan de wachttijd oplopen tot 3 uur en er is geen cafetaria in de buurt. Per boot met een privégids. Vertrek : op het jaagpad Les Hortillonnages et Vous. Met een elektrische boot met of zonder privégids. Vertrek : Jardin des Vertueux. Per boot op eigen initiatief en zonder gids . Vertrek : Bateaux - Amiens- Hortillonnages. Per kano of kayak. Info : Club Nautique Rivery Les Hortillonnages zijn iedere dag open van 09u30 - 12u30 en 13u30 - 18u00

The boat trip was fine, although commentary was only in the French language. Gardens were a disappointment. Wild bits are totally unmanaged, meaning mainly stinging nettles and stagnant water. Lots of blocked off channels marked as private. Predominantly small privately owned shacks/huts, the majority of these are unkempt or derelict. There is no access to the public. No car park, no access for disabled. There is a toilet.

Super visit with a very good boat driver. The commentary is in French, but he was happy to field questions from us 2 English interlopers. Boats hold about 12 or 13 and would recommend booking in advance. Lovely scenery, even though we could only understand snippets of the talk, it was still very good value and highly recommended. There was a very informative leaflet in English supplied. Merci!

What a beautiful place, probably my favourite thing this holiday. There's a guide sheet you can download in English so you can read about it as the tour was in french, but our very funny guide pointed out wildlife in English and explained things in really clear french so we understood quite a bit of the tour. Super well organised, loved supporting the conservation of this magical place.

Lovely way to spend an hour whilst visiting Amiens. The boat trip through the Hortillonnages was informative, interesting and calming. You can't help but be a little of jealous of the people fortunate enough to live in this lovely place. Highly recommended. Think about booking in advance. Several people were turned away because they were full on the day we visited.

We are from the UK and absolutely loved it! You will not be disappointed even though it's a French commentary you can just appreciate the beautiful scenery and winding canal around some amazing homes and gardens and wildlife...very peaceful and easy to find and really responsibly priced! Enjoy it wherever your from 🙏🥰😃
