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.

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.

Waben - Foraine d'Authie

Highlight • Other

Northern access to the old sand and gravel mines that created the large lakes today teeming with nature and wildlife. The site of the Foraine d'Authie is made up of a series of bodies of water resulting from the former exploitation of glacial pebble deposits. This former quarry, in the process of being recolonized by the natural environment, has been the subject of recent developments for ornithological purposes (islets, mudflats, etc.), associated with the grazing of the meadows. These allow a large public to enjoy the discovery of the site and to admire the Spoonbills, Cormorants, Mediterranean Gulls, Avocets, Mergansers, etc., which have repopulated this natural space.

Hardelot Castle

Highlight • Castle

This neo-Gothic mansion is located in front of the lake of mirrors. It was built in the 19th century by Sir John Hare, who drew inspiration from Windsor Castle but retained the remains of the 13th century fortification. In 2009 it was restored by the department, furnished and decorated in Victorian and Napoleon III style. Today, visitors are told about the history of the castle and what the Franco-English "accord cordial" is, as well as in a more general way the particular relations between these two countries.

Here you have a beautiful view over the sandy beach of Le Portel. The village looks like a fortress fortified against the force of the sea.

Today's tour had few highlights, instead there were cycle paths alongside the road and noise. There's a lot going on in the Calais region. Unfortunately, this cannot be recommended for imitation... 10 km from Bologne, the Chateau Hardelot suddenly appears, a mansion that was rebuilt in the neo-Tudor style in the 19th century and is intended to tell the eventful …
