Luggage and bags: The best type of bag to take to Amiens (now I'm talking to you fellow Americans especially) is a light one! Getting to Amiens and then having to lug around your baggage is not very fun. Plus you really won't need to bring as many clothes as you think you will.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A few pairs of black pants, some muted colored shirts and you're set for Europe. Only kind of kidding... seriously though, bring an umbrella, several if they tend to fall apart in the wind. Winter and spring are very rainy and windy in Amiens. And bring comfortable walking shoes because the city center is designed for walking.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: All toiletry and first aid items can be bought in the grocery and department stores of Amiens.

Photo Equipment: Developing film can be pretty expensive! I'd wait until I got home unless you absolutely are dying to see your pictures!

 Most people come to Amiens to visit the largest cathedral in France - Cathedrale de Notre Dame. A gigantic Gothic structure. Also of interest is that Jules Verne spent much of his adult life here and...
