The Bay of Somme is the largest estuary of the north of France with nearly 7200 ha. The very broad one opening towards the English Channel, of more than 5 kilometers, north in the south, offers, according to the tides and seasons, of the exceptional landscapes where sky, ground and sea come to merge in subtle colours and lights.

Hundreds of species of birds come to be posed there during their migrations, for a few hours or one season; others live all the year there, like Tadornes de Belon, because they find one there food abundant and varied on the strike, with the accesses of the marsh and water levels, in the dunes or salt meadow lambs.

Space walks unceasingly renewed, the bay of Somme includes a herbaceous part of approximately 1500 ha and a sablovaseuse zone of which 3000 ha are in natural reserve. The site is a place of observation extraordinary where you will be able to discover the flora and the birds in all their diversity, but also the colony of seals which settled there.
