====Saint-Acheul neighborhood====
The Saint-Acheul neighborhood({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃t‿aʃœl|IPA}}) existed before Amiens' inception, as people have lived there since prehistoric times. This is where archaeological excavations in the nineteenth century discovered prehistoric tool sets typical of the "[[Acheulean]]" prehistorical era, named after this neighborhood (also spelled Acheulian, pronounced {{IPA|fr|aʃœljɑ̃|}}). Civilians can freely visit the archaeological garden there.

Not to be confused with the [[Communes of France|commune]] of [[Saint-Acheul]] situated {{convert|37|km|0|abbr=on}} to the north, the Saint-Acheul neighborhood is the site of a military cemetery from the [[First World War]] (1914–1918).

It also contains the [[Church of Saint-Acheul]], the Jesuit former [[Saint-Acheul College]] and the former [[normal school]] of teachers which became the Lycée Robert-de-Luzarches. A number of famous people are buried in the former [[Saint-Acheul cemetery]] such as the creator of ''[[Bécassine]]'' J.P. Pinchon, and many resistance fighters. Part of the neighborhood includes a so-called "English neighborhood," with typical English style houses. At the feet of this area lie the ''hortillonnages'', a marshy area criss-crossed by canals.
