The bay of summer, on our trip it was low 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

Magnificent landscapes but walking is more difficult in the sand...

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.

Magnificent landscapes with breathtaking ecological richness. Here you can observe many species of salt-loving plants, migratory birds, and the largest colony of seals in France.

However, cycling is prohibited here!

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

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.
