Managed by the Baie de Somme Railway Association since 1971, this railway network preserves the heritage of the journeys of yesteryear. Courses, such as “Entre Terre & Mer”, allow you to discover varied landscapes, from marshes to meadows, while enjoying local wildlife such as seabirds and salt meadow sheep.

Hiking

Cross the Bay of the Somme from Crotoy, take the steam train back and then go to Le Hourdel to see the seals, that's all you need for a wonderful holiday.
