Compiegne, Amiens and Beauvais



Staying in Northern France was a great experience. We had mainly gone up that way for the Anzac service but realised that there was so much more to see. On the first day we went to Compiegne where the Armistice was signed between France and Germany in 1918 and then again in 1940. We then went to the lovely town of Amiens.


Malcolm was happy as he got to climb the Amiens Cathedral. The Cathedral was fascinating and was built in 1220 to house the skull of St John the Baptist which we got to see.
