Subtly combining the charm of a romantic garden and the interest of a small museum of funerary art, the cemetery of the Madeleine gathers the graves of many personalities of Amiénoises of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Let yourself be seduced by an original walk in the heart of an amazing atmosphere!
