I really can't resist a second-hand book shop, especially one in France - who knows what old books…read moreyou are going to find in there. Mind you, due to weight constraints I do have to resort to only buying one book, but that doesn't stop me looking around. There are quite a few old books in this little shop, which also doubles as a gallery (in that he sells art), though don't expect to find any Renoirs or Monets in here - he only does original works by locals. However, there are quite an extensive range of books, and he does speak pretty good English as well (though since I prefer speaking French in France I generally give that a decent shot). If you do happen to be in Amiens and are looking for some old books, then this place is certainly worth checking out - if you can read French that is.
