펜데 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

It remains a strange feeling to come across traces so long after the war.

Nothing really special. But worth a quick detour.

The traces of the Second World War are still omnipresent, even after 80 years.

Hourdel Lighthouse is a lighthouse on the common Cayeux-sur-Mer, it is built on the south side of the Bay of Somme, at the end of the point of Hourdel.

The church is built of natural stone with a characteristic pattern. It consists of two naves, separated by high arches. The baptismal chapel is still part of the original church. A church was first mentioned in the 12th century, but the current church dates back to the 13th century. The church was repeatedly destroyed during the Hundred Years' War and was set on fire in 1475, when the city defended itself against the English and Burgundian rulers. The church was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century and reconsecrated in 1500, but construction activities lasted until 1559. During the French Revolution, the furniture was sold, shrines and paintings were burned and bells were melted down. In 1845, a rectangular brick building was built next to the tower. Next to the church is the heavy tower, equipped with buttresses. In 1786, it was crowned with a tent roof.

Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sea air

Le Hourdel is a picturesque place with a view of the beautiful Baie de Somme, Le Crotoy and the sandbanks where the seals warmed themselves in the sun. At least at low tide.

A great photo opportunity
