Archeological Garden of Saint-Acheul, Archaeological site in Amiens, France.
The Archeological Garden of Saint-Acheul is a site with walking paths and displays showcasing discoveries from the Stone Age settlements in the Somme valley. The grounds feature exhibition spaces and a tower offering views across the surrounding landscape.
In the late 1800s, workers discovered flint tools at this location, leading archaeologists to identify and name an entire tool-making culture from this period. These finds became fundamental to understanding early human development.
The garden reveals how people worked and lived in prehistoric times through displays and demonstrations that bring ancient daily routines to life. These presentations help visitors connect with a distant past in a tangible way.
Visitors can explore the grounds at their own pace following marked pathways through different exhibition areas with signage in multiple languages. Parking is available on-site, and weekday visits tend to be less crowded than weekend visits.
The tower on the grounds offers an unexpected view across Amiens and the Somme valley while exploring the site. From above, visitors can better understand how the ancient landscape shaped where people chose to settle.
