Where we deliver in Amiens
- Mégacité
- On Avenue de l'Hippodrome in the Licorne hub, between the Zénith and the stadium: exhibition halls, two auditoriums and a large free car park. Give the hall and stand number, and ask the organiser for a delivery pass.
- Stade Crédit Agricole la Licorne
- In the same hub: receptions in the boxes and in the Espace Licorne, which opens onto the boxes and has a catering office. Ask the stadium to confirm its terms for outside caterers and, on match days, request the service entrance and a vehicle pass.
- Maison de la Culture d'Amiens
- On Place Léon Gontier in the city centre: theatres and rooms hired out to companies, with breaks and buffets set up in the Bar d'Entracte. Ask for the service entrance and the unloading slot, as parking is in the nearby car parks.
We also deliver to offices and unusual venues across the city, in particular Gare La Vallée, Pôle Jules Verne, Parc d'activités de Renancourt, Vallée des Vignes.
The local constraint that changes the plan
Central Amiens is largely pedestrianised around Rue des Trois-Cailloux, and from late November to late December the Christmas market fills its streets from Place René-Goblet to Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville. For a city-centre reception in that period, plan the delivery before the stalls open and give the service access street, not just the venue address.
Who orders in Amiens
Orders come from healthcare institutions around the university hospital, the university and its laboratories, customer-relations and service centres, and the area's industrial sites, including a growing cluster linked to the energy transition.
The big dates in Amiens
- Festival International du Film d'Amiens · every November
- The festival brings filmmakers, industry professionals and partners to the city's cinemas, including the Maison de la Culture: a company hosting alongside it has to work around the pedestrian centre and each venue's own rules.
- Marché de Noël d'Amiens · every year from late November to late December
- It coincides with the season of end-of-year lunches and drinks: a company hosting in the city centre has to fit its delivery around market hours and the space taken by the stalls.
- Rendez-Vous de la Bande Dessinée d'Amiens · every June
- The festival sets up in the Halle Freyssinet near the station: publishers, authors and partners host there, and any delivery goes through the organiser, who sets access and times.
How a delivery outside Île-de-France works
Everything is composed in Île-de-France and carried in a refrigerated vehicle, with an unbroken cold chain from loading to hand-over. The logistics line covers the real round trip, 280 km, and appears as its own line on the quote.
For a large event, allow 48 hours between the order and the delivery; for a smaller order, 5 days. Payment is received before the service, as everywhere else: nothing is produced before the funds are in.
