Abbatiale Saint-Pierre de Corbie
Abbatiale Saint-Pierre de Corbie, Benedictine abbey church in Corbie, France
The Saint-Pierre church rises with two prominent west towers and features large Gothic windows that illuminate its stone vaulted interior.
The current structure dates from 1775, replacing an earlier medieval church that belonged to the influential Benedictine monastery founded in 661.
The church preserves manuscripts and religious artifacts that demonstrate the monastery's role in developing the Carolingian minuscule writing style.
Visitors can access the church throughout the year and explore its architectural elements through guided tours organized by the local tourism office.
The abbey's library contained rare manuscripts, including unique copies of Tertullian's works, before their transfer to Paris by Cardinal Richelieu.

Amiens combines an architectural and natural heritage that reflects its rich historical past. The Notre-Dame Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in France, stands in the city center at 145 meters long with medieval sculptures from the 13th century. The Museum of Picardie, the first French building designed specifically as a museum, houses art and archaeology collections spanning several centuries of regional history. The Hortillonnages constitute one of Amiens' natural treasures: this network of 300 hectares of canals and floating gardens, cultivated since the Middle Ages, offers boat trips amid preserved nature. Jules Verne's House allows visitors to explore the writer's universe in his 19th-century private mansion, where he authored about thirty novels. These sites, complemented by places like the Jules Verne Circus from 1889 and the modern Tour Perret, Europe's first reinforced concrete skyscraper, demonstrate the continuous development of the city and its adaptation to different eras.
