Ault Coastal Panorama

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fantastic viewpoint, with orientation table and benches with spectacular perspective. Steep bike/pedestrian road, closed to cars as the cliffs are crumbling and the edge advances closer to the village.

Cliffs of Ault

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is in Ault that the Normandy cliffs begin to rise.
Even if the city has lost its splendor, the site is impressive, because to the north, the plain of the Bay of Somme extends, and to the west, the cliffs as far as Le Havre.
In my photo, unfortunately, I was not able to capture a beautiful light, but believe me, this is the land of exceptional lights.
Have a nice ride everyone.

Ault Chalk Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The village of Ault (ch'bourqu'éd'Eut, in Picard) has an exceptional geographical location. At the edge of the cliffs of the Normandy Alabaster Coast, with its valley protected by the Bois de Cise, a veritable green setting overlooking the English Channel, it is in Onival, with its sandy beach at low tide that begins, with the Côte d opal, the Hâble d'Ault and, indeed, the ancient Baie de Somme.

Blockhouse of Hourdel

Highlight • Structure

The bunker's slanted position in the water impressively shows how the coastline has developed over the decades. Only at low tide can you still reach the bunker with dry feet. Today, the concrete block is a bizarre photo motif and a graffiti surface.

Le Hourdel Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

In 1943, a military base was installed by General Erwin Rommel, in charge of the defense of the Atlantic Wall on the Northwest. He transformed the beach into a vast construction site: minefield, construction of blockhouses, IEDs. in August 1944, following the landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the German troops were ordered to withdraw. they take the time to dynamite the lighthouses, destroy their installations and devastate the Hameau du Hourdel.
