The city's landmark building, a concrete tower marking its passage through Amiens.

This emblematic Amiens building welcomes you as you leave the station. After the Second World War, French architect Auguste Perret worked on the reconstruction of the station area. The project began in 1942 and was completed in 1953. This concrete tower remains the most visible trace of his time in Amiens, and one of the first skyscrapers in Europe. At night, you can admire the cube at the very top, which is illuminated by 192 glass panels displaying the colors of the rainbow: a giant hourglass!

You can't miss this building, which is right in front of the town's SNCF station, high and majestic facade with a little New York skyscraper style of the 1950 s! Architecture of another age but still inhabited and functional, it's really worth an eye, it's an essential part of your visit to Amiens.

Une tour pas très jolie mais qui a au moins le mérite de nous aider à nous repérer dans la ville !

Cette tour se remarque de très loin. Elle symbolise la reconstruction de la ville d'Amiens après la guerre. Lorsqu'on se promène dans Amiens, elle sert de point de repère avec les tours de la cathédrale.
Pas de visite.

Cette tour originale ne se visite pas car ce sont des logements. Elle s'illumine la nuit de différentes couleurs.

Cette tour Perret est visible de bien des endroits en arrivant sur la ville d'Amiens, c'est un peu comme un "phare" pour la cathédrale.
