Kanal der Somme

Highlight • Other

This long straight section which ends its route in the Bay of Somme and Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme is just magnificent.

If the sun is out, your end of the stage will be all the more beautiful.

Cycle path along the Canal Somme

Highlight • Other

The canal follows the course of the River Somme and is a combination of a side canal and a canalised river. Construction work had already begun in 1770, but was not completed until 1843. It was intended to connect St. Quentin with the English Channel for freight traffic. However, economic use has been in decline for many decades, but like many canals in France, tourist use by pleasure craft and houseboats is increasing. (Wikipedia)
Like most canals in France, this one is also made accessible by accompanying cycle paths. A relaxed, sometimes also meditative cycling, because there is not so much variety. But also absolutely beautiful landscapes on the unregulated Somme lined with castles and mansions delight cyclists again and again

On the Seagull Route

Highlight • Natural

The Crotoy municipal marsh is often compared to a miniature version of the Camargue, offering a panorama rich in biodiversity. This natural space promises a total immersion experience for flora and fauna lovers. Don't forget your binoculars to better observe the various species that make their home there, such as storks, swans, ponies and Highland cows. It is also possible to hear or see the green tree frog, an amphibian characteristic of this region.

Avocette bike route – Trail access to the sea

Highlight • Cycleway

The bike route follows the paved road. At this trailhead a sandy trail heads for the sea, but is too soft to ride by bike

The Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The La passerelle de l'Authie, inaugurated in April 2022, is a 52-meter-long pedestrian and cycle structure that facilitates the safe crossing of the Authie river. Connecting the departments of Somme and Pas-de-Calais, it is part of the Eurocyclo project, which aims to enrich the cycling routes of the coast.

View of Étaples harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Etaples, located where the English Channel meets the North Sea, is a port for coastal fishing (sole, plaice, whiting, shrimp) and sea fishing. Due to the silting up of the Canche, the large trawlers operate mainly from Boulogne-sur-Mer, but the fishermen remain attached to the original port.
