A very beautiful viewpoint!

Easily navigable, highly recommended

In this fully restored 18th century manor, as well as the adjoining old brewery, you have at your disposal all the information on the territory of the Regional Natural Park, as well as its activities. You can also take part in one of the activities which take place regularly in the building or in the garden.

The site of the Foraine d'Authie is made up of a series of bodies of water resulting from the exploitation of old ridges of pebbles. This former quarry, in the process of being recolonized by the natural environment, has been the subject of recent developments for ornithological purposes (islets, mudflats, etc.), associated with the grazing of all the meadows. These allow a large public to enjoy the discovery of the site and to admire the Spoonbills, Cormorants, Mediterranean Gulls, Avocets, Mergansers, etc., which occupy this natural space.

Climb to the top of the slope to see this view
