Nice corner

Hike with the difficulty of the dunes but very nice and beautiful.

Stroll through the Jardin de l'Evolution, designed as a tribute to Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck, a naturalist from Picardie. The garden illustrates a very current reflection: man cannot change the result of thousands of years of evolution to “satisfy his senses of the moment…”

The information can only be read in French.

The Ouessant sheep is named after the island of Ouessant off the coast of Brittany. Due to the harsh climate and poor soils, the Ouessant sheep is one of the smallest sheep breeds in the world. The shoulder height is approximately 45 cm, rams weigh up to a maximum of 20 kg. The ewes usually only give birth to one young at a time. Source: Wikipedia

A vast marine swamp, Authie Bay is home to remarkable flora and fauna. The wild landscapes are very diverse. They alternate between salt meadows, ponds and dunes.

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.
