Editing Amiens (section)

====Saint-Leu neighborhood====
St-Leu forms part of Amiens, north of the city center. It has many older wooden and brick houses and several canals. At the foot of the cathedral, traversed by canals, this picturesque area was largely rehabilitated during the 1990s. It extends to the [[River Somme|Somme]] canal, located more to the north, at the foot of the Coteau Saint-Pierre on which the fortress of [[Jean Errard]], called ''Citadelle'', was built. Historically, it was the poor neighborhood of the city, where butchers, tanners and dyers gathered.

Amiens University's Faculty of Sciences, present since the 1960s, has been renovated and expanded on occasion. The Faculty of Law and Economics has also been transferred since the mid-1990s from the campus (offset to the south of the city) to its new location at the foot of the cathedral.<ref group="note">Work had also been delayed, because some people{{who|date=November 2024}} wanted to "preserve the cathedral".</ref> The open-air parking it replaces was a "gap" in the landscape dating from [[World War II]]. Nonetheless, it allowed an unobstructed view of the cathedral. Most of the buildings have been renovated and transformed into housing much of which is for students.

The area became the heart of the Amiens people's evenings, with many establishments (bars, restaurants, etc.) on ''Place du Don'' and ''Quai Bélu''.

The church is found at ''Rue Saint-Leu'', located just between the Faculty of Science and Law-Economy (UPJV).

Two theatres were established in the neighborhood, that of the [[Chés Cabotans]] (puppet shows in the [[Picard language]]) and the ''Maison du Théâtre'' at the foot of the Saint-Leu Church. There is also ''La Lune des Pirates'', a concert hall.
