Les Tentaculaires turns Amiens public spaces into stages for three days of street arts. Circus, dance, theatre, music and installations move through the city rather than staying behind the doors of a single venue. Residents, families and visitors meet performance in streets, squares and everyday routes, which gives the festival an open and communal character. By bringing contemporary creation into daily urban spaces, Amiens builds a lively summer identity around art in the open air.

Guided Tour of the Amiens Belfry
This guided visit focuses on the Amiens Belfry, a civic monument closely tied to the city’s history. Participants meet at Place au Fil before entering a story of bells, municipal memory and hidden details that are easy to miss from outside. The tour gives the monument a human scale: instead of seeing the belfry only as a landmark, visitors hear how it became part of local identity. It is a compact heritage experience for anyone who wants Amiens history told through one of its most symbolic buildings.
30th Rendez-vous de la Bande Dessinée d’Amiens
The Rendez-vous de la Bande Dessinée d’Amiens is a long-running meeting point for comics, illustration and visual storytelling in the Somme capital. For its 30th edition, the festival gathers authors, exhibitions, youth formats, signings and conversations at Halle Freyssinet. The continuity matters: Amiens has built a recognisable place in the world of bande dessinée through the local association On a Marché sur la Bulle. It is contemporary culture with roots, public access and a clear city identity.
