Parc de l'Evéché d'Amiens

Parc de l'Evéché d'Amiens is a green space beside the cathedral featuring winding pathways and expanses of grass arranged in a landscape style. Historic structures from the former palace remain visible within the boundaries, giving the grounds their character.

The site was originally organized around a bishop's palace that shaped the religious and political life of the city. In the 19th century, the grounds were redesigned following English garden traditions, creating the layout visitors see today.

The park takes its name from the former bishop's residence and serves today as a natural connector between the cathedral and the city center. Locals and visitors move through the green space as part of their daily routes through the city.

The park is freely accessible from multiple entrances around the cathedral area. Walking paths lead through the grounds, with shaded spots and open areas available for resting or pausing during a visit.

Sealed underground tunnels run beneath the park's grounds, once connecting medieval buildings across the city. These hidden passages are no longer accessible, yet they remain a silent testimony to the urban history lying below the green surface.
