This clock is intended for the modest inhabitants of Amiens who need to know the time

It is by will dated February 12, 1892 that Louis Dewailly, mayor of Amiens, bequeathed to the city 25 000 francs to build this clock. It was intended for the modest inhabitants of Amiens who needed to know the time. In 1953, it was dismantled and even looted and only the statue of Mary without a shirt was spared. It was finally reinstalled on the rue des Sergents and on the square commonly called "Marie-sans-chemise" and is now the pride of all the people of Amiens and tourists, who take pleasure in contemplating it, with the cathedral in the background!

At the chance of your walking in Amiens, you can't miss the place and notice this "bizarre" clock and very photogenic clock, many bars and restaurants in its surroundings.

La "Marie sans chemise" d'Amiens (effectivement, il manque une chemise à la demoiselle ;) est un monument d'Amiens original. Situé en centre ville, il vaut le coup d'oeil

Nommée "Marie sans Chemise" par les Amiénois cette réplique de l'horloge d'origine a pris sa place sur la place du même nom en 1999 , l'originale se trouvait autrefois place Gambetta.

L'horloge est un point d'intérêt de la ville intéressant lorsque l'on visite Amiens à pied.
