The bay of summer, on our trip it was low tide.

Magnificent view of the Bay of Somme at the port of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. The largest French colony of harbor seals has taken up residence in the Bay of Somme, and you can see them here at high tide.

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. https://youtu.be/nenNw-_0ADE

It's great to see how the landscape keeps changing due to the tides

The Crotoy municipal marsh is often compared to a miniature version of the Camargue, offering a panorama rich in biodiversity. This natural space promises a total immersion experience for flora and fauna lovers. Don't forget your binoculars to better observe the various species that make their home there, such as storks, swans, ponies and Highland cows. It is also possible to hear or see the green tree frog, an amphibian characteristic of this region.

The dike at Favières is a hiking trail that takes you to the edge of the Bay of Somme, a nature reserve that is home to a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora. It was built in the 19th century to protect the land from the sea. The sea wall offers a panoramic view of the bay, where you can observe the changing colors of the water, the sandbanks and the marshes. You will also be able to spot many birds, such as herons, egrets, ducks and geese.
