Getting around by boat and ferry Baie de Somme

Built on a sandbar, Le Crotoy is a port with a long fishing tradition. In the ^17th century, it was one of the most important in the English Channel. Today, the silting-up of the bay has forced fishing boats to leave the port for Le Tréport. Despite the fact that this activity is set back, it continues to lend the town a maritime atmosphere. Fishermen's cottages blend beautifully with vacation homes. Today, Le Tréport is a pretty marina - accommodating up to 100 boats - where it's a pleasure to tie up for a day... or more!

Philippe Forest will be happy to take you aboard his boat, due to time and tides. Onboard the Commander-Charcot II and III you discover Somme bay, Le Hourdel or Cap Hornu through 3 different cruises. Boarding is 100 m from the tourist office of Saint-Valéry. You can attend this show that is the sunset and that all the painters tried to seize on their paintings. Special rates for groups. Arrival 1/2 hour before departure for ticket purchase.
