The gothic church St Martin can be found towering on a hill above the newer part of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, amidst the medieval old town. There has been a church on this site since Norman times but the original has been destroyed during the 15th century. The church you can see today has been built during the 17th century and stands on the site of the older version. Like many houses in the old town it features chequered flint and sandstone walls, many gargoyles adorn the exterior.

The Chinese Labour Corps was a force of workers recruited by the British government in World War I to support the troops by performing support work and manual labor. The workers were tasked with carrying out essential work to support the frontline troops, such as building dugouts, repairing roads and railways, digging trenches and filling sandbags. The Corps did not take part in combat. According to the records kept by the British and French recruiters, around 2,000 Chinese Labour Corps died during World War I, most from the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu, some as a direct result of enemy action or of wounds received in the course of their duties. This figure is contested by some Chinese scholars who say the number was as high as 20,000. They were classified as war casualties and were buried in 17 cemeteries in the North of France with a total of about 2000 tombs (also a few tombs in one cemetery in Belgium).[One of the four following proverbs were inscribed on the standard Commonwealth War Grave Portland stone gravestones: "Faithful unto death", "A good reputation endures forever", "A noble duty bravely done" and "Though dead he still liveth".

Numerous shipwrecks in the bay of the Canche led to the construction of two lighthouses in 1845, which were destroyed in 1944. A new lighthouse with 214 steps and a height of 54 meters was built in 1949 next to the lighthouse keepers house and first commissioned in 1951. The architect Quetelard designed it with eight curved faces reminiscent of Ionic columns.

The nave of the 13th century gothic cathedral of Amiens. Effortlessly reaching a height of 42,3 m, Notre-Dame of Amiens epitomizes the triumph of 13th century gothic architecture, or how audacity meets perfection. Begun in 1220 by Robert de Luzarches, the nave was completed in 1236; the choir by 1269. While following the three-story elevation seen at Chartres and Reims, the emphasis on height changes the whole appearance of the interior. Only 14,6 m wide, the nave presents a relation of 3:1 between height and width, creating a vertical thrust which was unseen at the time.

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame (daily: April–Sept 8.30am–6.45pm; Oct–March 8.30am–noon & 2–5.30pm; no visits during services) provides the city's very obvious focus. First of all, it dominates all else by its sheer size – it's the biggest Gothic building in France – but its appeal lies mainly in its unusual uniformity of style. Begun in 1220 under the architect Robert de Luzarches, only the tops of the towers were unfinished in 1269, and so the building escaped the influence of succeeding architectural fads that marred the "purity" of some of its more leisurely built sisters. Were it not for its renowned cathedral, few travellers would stop at AMIENS. Badly scarred during both world wars, and with heavy traffic pounding along the ring road built over its old city walls, it's not an immediately likeable place. Yet there's more to the town than first meets the eye. St-Leu, the medieval quarter north of the cathedral with its network of canals, has been renovated;
