The cathedral of Notre-Dame at Amiens, is the largest cathedral in France being twice the size of its Paris namesake.

There are 5 other cathedrals in Picardie in Beauvais, Noyon, Senlis, Soissons and Laon.

For the more active, watersports abound in coastal resorts and for the family, Picardie is home to the popular Theme Parks 'Parc Asterix' in Plailly, 'Bagatelle Theme Park' at Merlimont and Parc-St-Paul at Beauvais.
