We took the Eurostar from Ashford to Paris. It was nearly a disaster as we had tickets for a month earlier than the date we were travelling. Not sure how that happened. It's not like we didn't check them when they were issued. Eurostar were very good about it. They sitting printed new tickets for us and we were able to board the train, phew. Arriving in Paris though, we had to purchase new train tickets for the journey to Amiens.
We got to Amiens late at night, about 10pm but with daylight saving it was still just light. Our hotel was very near the train station which was great.
The following day we explored Amiens. I went to the hairdresser for a colour and cut which was great fun as my French isn't very good and no-one there spoke English. We got by, and I came out with a nice haircut and colour.
Every night the cathedral is transformed into a spectacular sound and light show. The beautiful figures carved into the stone are brought to life in colour.
