Grand chemin côtier

Highlight • Other

Beautiful path, we take advantage of the elements, the view, the flora and fauna. Plan some obstacle crossings which allow the horses and cows to be left in their enclosures.

From the cliff you have a wonderful view over Le Treport.
The cliff can be reached by stairs or with the free inclined elevator.

Mers-les-Bains, at the gates of Normandy, is a beautiful seaside resort nestled at the foot of the cliffs. It has a large sand and pebble beach, and a pretty seafront lined with colorful villas.

Bois de Cise

Highlight • Forest

This green setting in the heart of the cliffs has been listed as a picturesque site since 1959. The Bois de Cise is an exceptional natural site, a small natural wood, originally wild and deserted, which was included in a seaside resort of fame from the Belle Époque.

This coastal wood was originally a wild wood which became a place for hunting with hounds. Bois de Cise was then sold in the form of lots, by a visionary who would stop at no means.

Today, it is a charming vacation spot and stroll, best discovered on foot along the small paths and wooden stairs that line the site. Very pretty villas bear witness to the prosperous years before the First World War.

Like Victor Hugo in his time, don't forget to go to the panorama. Fantastic viewpoint where you can see the Baie de Somme estuary.

Bois de Cise

Highlight • Other

A green setting in the heart of the cliffs, classified as a picturesque area since 1959.
The Bois de Cise is an exceptional natural area, a small natural forest, originally wild and abandoned, which became a famous seaside resort during the Belle Époque under the leadership of a visionary who stopped at nothing.
This coastal forest was originally a wild forest and a hunting ground in the Middle Ages. At the end of the 19th century, the Bois de Cise was sold off in lots on the initiative of a property developer and became a famous seaside resort of the Belle Époque.
Today, it is a charming holiday and walking area that is best explored on foot via the narrow paths and wooden steps that crisscross the area. Very beautiful villas bear witness to the prosperous years before the First World War.
Don't forget to go to the panorama, like Victor Hugo in his time, a fantastic viewpoint from which you can see the mouth of the Bay of Somme.

May 13, 2023,Das ist der Weg: Von Mers les Bains über Bois de Cise bis Ault und zurück
So the wind is really strong here. One stretch (the one with a headwind) feels like going uphill all the time. On the way out I walked quite a bit along a now unmarked trail near the cliff edge. I therefore recommend a safe step and thistle/nettle-proof clothing ☝️
There are great cafes and beach bars, but only in Mers …

Le Treport and Cise are pretty, but unfortunately Ault is not

Showing Translation

Today we went on a longer hike. Always pretty: the houses along the promenade in Mers, the route to Cise along a cycle path is a bit boring. But then again the Sentier Littoral is very beautiful.

Showing Translation

Beautiful hike above the chalk cliffs. ⚠️ Some sections are steep and partially unpaved!
