About the activity

Situated between Cayeux-sur-Mer and Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont, in the south of the Côte d'Opale, the Baie de Somme is an exceptional estuary that is a must-see in northern France. This natural site, recognised as a Grand Site de France, is well worth a visit, whether to stroll through the streets of the picturesque village of Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme, take the little steam train that runs along the bay, or take part in this incredible guided hike from the north of Le Crotoy to observe the migratory birds and seals that inhabit the nature reserve!

Accompanied by a guide who knows the area like no one else, your group will have the pleasure of venturing into the heart of the Baie de Somme and setting foot on its sandbanks, waterways and mudflats. The experience will be messy, but it will be well worth it when you spot the first animals on your way! With almost 250 species of migratory birds (spoonbills, egrets, gulls, etc.) as well as grey seals and harbour seals, you are sure to be impressed by the beauty of the wildlife that thrives in this superb natural estuary.

Between the informative comments of your guide and the observation of the birds and seals of the Baie de Somme, this guided hike from the north of Le Crotoy will offer you a magnificent 2.5-hour getaway in the open air, easily accessible from Abbeville, Amiens and even Paris, what's more, by train. So what are you waiting for?

Le guide Alex, nous fait découvrir la baie de Somme lors de cette sortie. Les phoques étaient loin mais Alex nous a parlé des oiseaux, de la faune, de la flore, des coquillages, de la pêche, des marées et de la vie locale avec des idées de recettes.

Nous avons fait une randonnée guidée dans la baie. Il faisait beau, l’eau était chaude, nous avons vu des phoques, eu plein d’informations sur le coin et mangé de la salicorne. Que demander de plus?
