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.

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 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.

Lighthouse and semaphore🗽 Ault

Highlight • Other

The Ault lighthouse or Onival lighthouse, built on the cliff of Onival in the town of Ault in the Somme, was commissioned in 1951. The first maritime signaling station was built in 1885.
It is a white frustoconical tower in reinforced concrete at the top of red bricks, with gallery and lantern. It is located on the military ground of the semaphore.
It has been automated since 2001 and controlled by the Saint-Valery-sur-Somme office.
It replaces the old building built in bricks in 1885 and blasted on June 6, 1940. It was black and white and rose to more than 100 m above sea level. Https: //fr.wikipedia .org / wiki / Phare_d% 27Ault
