Chemin d'Amiens

NEW
The guide to the route from Amiens to Rouen was published in June 2021 and is available from the association (€9 + postage). In a single volume of 48 pages, it offers a historical and heritage presentation of each stage, maps and step-by-step instructions for each of the 7 stages (171 km).

This Amiens-Rouen route was inaugurated on 26 May 2018 with the laying of a Chemins du Mont nail and a Compostelle nail in front of Amiens Cathedral.

This new itinerary is part of an overall scheme of shared routes linking Hauts de France to Normandy. It has been created to mark the 20th anniversary of the inclusion of the French Pilgrim's Way to Santiago in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, and links Amiens Cathedral with Le Mont Abbey, both of which are listed as World Heritage Sites on the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago as part of Serial Good 868.
This route allows walkers and mountain bikers from Belgium and the Hauts de France to link up with the Mont on the Route of Galicia.
