The captivating lights of the Bay of Somme have inspired many writers and painters: Delacroix, Degas, Corot as well as Colette, Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, Alfred Manessier and many more…
Light and space are the features of this protected coast. The estuary of Somme extends over 70 square kilometers, where we also can see sheepes from “prés-salés”.
Near the bay, the region of Vimeu is nationally well-known for its locksmith and plumbing activities, and spectacular cliffs of white chalk overhang the sea.

The Bay of Somme is one of the major sites of migratory birds transit in France. Lakes, everglades, dunes and “prés salés” make up a “between land and water” landscape. The Widgeon, the Common Shelduck, the curlew, the oystercatcher rub shoulders with seals and sheepes from “pré-salés”. At low tide you can cross with a guide to the golden sandbanks, dug by ponds.
