Amiens is located in the Picardie region of northern France along the Somme River. It is also home to the largest Gothic cathedral in France, floating gardens, and vibrant cultural scene. The city is a regional center for arts, innovation, and education. The Amiens logo features the outline of the 13th-century Amiens Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site that symbolizes the city’s history and resilience. Its soaring Gothic silhouette reflects Amiens’ cultural identity, while the green color represents the city’s famous floating gardens, waterways, and long tradition of horticulture. Given Amiens’ major green thumb and its spirit of renewal, the grass-green palette is a natural fit.

About the film: 2h2min - Romantic Comedy – Rated R for sexual content – French with English subtitles
Amélie (original title Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain), became an instant classic on release in 2001 from director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The film received a staggering 13 nominations at the César Awards (French Oscars), including wins for Best Film and Best Director. The success translated across the Atlantic, becoming the highest-grossing French film released in America en route to 5 Oscar nominations. Quiet and reserved, Amelie Poulin (Audrey Tautou) spends her days as a waitress at a Paris cafe and entertains herself by playing kindhearted practical jokes on her father and her neighbors, finding love in the meantime. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Delicatessen"; "The City of Lost Children") invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingénue.
