The port of La Madelon is a marina located on the Authie, near its mouth at the bottom of the Bay of Authie[1]; the location of the port, in the place called "La Madelon", is shared between the communes of Waben and Groffliers, in the department of Pas-de-Calais.

The obviously very modern small religious monument that the beachcomber encounters here draws on a type of cross already known in the Middle Ages: A so-called "Arma Christi Cross," a special form of Passion cross, has been erected here. The light-colored corpus of the crucified Christ, adorned with a blue loincloth, stands out very clearly against the dark background of the crossbeams. Several other symbols from the Passion of Christ are also present. These symbols, which people in the Middle Ages could easily understand and interpret, perhaps require more explanation today: + The rooster at the top of the crossbeam, for example, symbolizes Peter's denial of Jesus: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times," Christ had foretold to him (John 13:38). + The stick with the sponge (to the viewer's left of Christ) recalls the episode, also recounted by the Evangelist John (19:29), in which Jesus was given vinegar to drink. The lance (on the right) was used to pierce Christ's heart after his death, to prove that he had died. + A hammer and tongs, used to drive in and remove the nails for the crucifixion, protrude from the crossbeam. Jean Debeyre has thus created a small sacred monument rich in Christian symbolism, which requires the viewer to take some time and have some knowledge of biblical history.

From the beautiful restaurant on the Bay of Authie, a narrow footpath leads past the small harbor of Madelon - and if the water is not too high, it even takes you the three kilometers to the bridge for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders towards the Baie de la Somme.

Beautiful foot, bicycle & horse bridge

Very beautiful nature reserve, can be easily explored by gravel bike or MTB

If you love nature and seals, you should come here at low tide. It's worth it. If you want to find out about the tide times, you can find it here: https://de.tideschart.com/France/Hauts--de--France/Pas--de--Calais/Berck--Plage/
