The hortillonages "floating gardens" are emblematic of Amiens. You can discover them in special boats known as "barques à cornet". The hortillonages cover 300 hectares and are interlaced with 65km of small canals, known as "rieux" in the local dialect. These market gardens, gently lapped by the Avre and the Somme, have been cultivated since the Middle Ages.
