The Hortillonnages extend across five municipalities, including Camon, Amiens, Lamotte-Brebière, Longueau and Rivery.

Culture

The parish church of Saint-Vast in Camon features a construction phase dating from the last quarter of the 16th century. In 1836, the church was extended with a brick side aisle.

The Festival international de jardins | Hortillonnages Amiens was founded in 2010 to support young landscape designers and artists.
