Magnificent view of the Bay of Somme at the port of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. The largest French colony of harbor seals has taken up residence in the Bay of Somme, and you can see them here at high tide.

Cross the Bay of the Somme from Crotoy, take the steam train back and then go to Le Hourdel to see the seals, that's all you need for a wonderful holiday. https://youtu.be/nenNw-_0ADE
