Hiking

The Bay of Somme nature reserve covers 3,000 hectares of marine habitats, including mudflats, salt marshes and sandbanks. You can enjoy stunning views of the bay, observe the rich wildlife and discover the rare plants that thrive in this salty environment. The reserve is home to the largest colony of harbor seals in France, as well as many species of birds, such as spoonbills, avocets and oystercatchers. You can also visit the Marquenterre Ornithological Park, which is part of the reserve. The reserve is a protected area, so you must respect the rules and regulations that ensure its conservation.

Hiking

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.
