The Bay of Somme listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Somme estuary shines with its biodiversity, its landscapes, its changing colors with the seasons and its inhabitants who cohabit here with nature. The various worldwide recognitions show how unique and magnificent this setting is. Small jewel of nature preserved between Earth and Sea, it is the jewels of Picardy. By plunging into this universe you will discover the richness of the coast but also of a dynamic hinterland taking advantage of the development of seaside resorts. Ideal for family holidays or romantic stopovers, the Baie de Somme will not leave you indifferent

Le Crotoy, the only beach in the north facing south

By its position on the estuary of the Somme Le Crotoy sees its beach exposed due south. This sunshine has benefited the development of the resort by making it a tourist resort of choice 2 hours from Paris. The sunsets are breathtaking and have inspired many painters, writers and other artists (Toulouse Lautrec, Colette, Henri Doidy, Jules Verne, Manessier or more recently Alain Souchon...)

The Picardy coast - 3 different styles

The Picardy coast stretches from Baie d'Authie and the town of Fort-Mahon in the north to Mers-les-Bains in the south. In just a few kilometers of seafront you will be surprised at the diversity of the coastline. To the north the large sandy beaches (Fort-Mahon, Quend, Le Crotoy), In the middle the port of St-Valéry then the pebble beach of Cayeux s / mer and then comes the cliffs erected as if to face the attacks of the sea from Ault to Mers.
