Editing Amiens (section)

====Saint-Maurice neighborhood====
Located to the west of the [[Citadel]]le, and east of the {{interlanguage link|Cimetière de La Madeleine (Amiens)|fr|3=Cimetière de La Madeleine (Amiens)|lt=La Madeleine Cemetery}}, this very old working-class neighborhood of Amiens acted as an industrial center in the 18th century. It is currently undergoing significant housing renovation and development.

Bordered by the [[Canal de la Somme]], it offers a stopover for leisure boats, which must go through a lock.

The walls of the city's former [[dye]] factory are now those of the {{interlanguage link|École supérieure d'art et de design d'Amiens|fr}} (ESAD) as well as those of the Faculty of Arts. The [[ESIEE Amiens|École supérieure d'ingénieurs en électronique et électrotechnique]] (ESIEE) is in the same neighborhood. As the Citadelle, it will be renovated by the architect [[Renzo Piano]] to accommodate the university departments (UFR) of: letters, history and geography, languages, the {{interlanguage link|École supérieure du professorat et de l'éducation|fr}} (ESPE), the House of Languages, the House of Research and the University Library in 2015.

The {{interlanguage link|Jardin des plantes d'Amiens|fr|3=Jardin des plantes d'Amiens|lt=Jardin des plantes}}, known as the ''Jardin du Roy'' within the city, is also located in this neighborhood.
