The Bay of Canche
Steps: Etaples
An invitation to a sensory voyage to the heart of artisanal fishing, where each exhibition transports you between waves and sailors, among the hidden treasures of the English Channel and North Sea. Imagine yourself in front of glittering aquariums, where the creatures of the beach evolve under a luminous ballet, before climbing aboard a trawler thanks to an immersive projection that makes the call of the open sea vibrate.
Let yourself be guided to a shipyard, where the bewitching scent of woodwork evokes the murmur of the oceans. Here, ancestral craftsmanship shapes the boats that will one day challenge the waves. Every plank, every curve tells a story, the story of maritime craftsmanship and of dreams carried by the wind.
Authie Bay
Steps: Berck
Discover nature's hidden treasures in the heart of the Baie d'Authie, where the edible plants of the coast reveal their secrets under your curious fingers. Maritime aster, obione, mugwort and plantain await you, ready to awaken your taste buds and enrich your knowledge of their culinary and therapeutic virtues. Guided by an expert, basket in hand, you'll learn to recognize and harvest these wild wonders in a setting where land and sea intertwine harmoniously.
After a lunch of local flavors, let yourself be carried away by the lively atmosphere of Berck-sur-Mer. Here, sky and ocean merge into a grandiose canvas, while the lively town center abounds in shops and small discoveries. Stroll along the promenade, where the salty breeze caresses your face and invites you to relax.
Finally, head for Le Touquet, an elegant setting where architectural sophistication meets luxuriant nature. The avenues lined with opulent villas stretch out like a tableau vivant, punctuated by verdant parks and glimpses of the immensity of the sea. With its casino, art galleries and woodland promenades, this seaside resort is an invitation to refinement and escape, where every moment is tinged with a gentle serenity.
The Somme Bay
Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere of Le Crotoy, where charming little streets and endless beaches create a poetic picture. Stroll freely through this town with its rich past, where Joan of Arc and Jules Verne once left their mark. Every step reveals a perfect harmony between nature and heritage, an invitation to contemplation and discovery.
Then climb aboard the "petit train de la Baie de Somme" and let yourself be carried away on a picturesque journey, where landscapes unfold like fairytale scenes. Salt marshes, wild dunes and majestic wildlife reveal themselves along the rails, to the soothing rhythm of the clattering wheels.
Venture along the quays of this city, where medieval history whispers its tales from every ancient stone. A timeless interlude, where past and present merge in gentle harmony.
