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.

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.

Ault Chalk Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The village of Ault (ch'bourqu'éd'Eut, in Picard) has an exceptional geographical location. At the edge of the cliffs of the Normandy Alabaster Coast, with its valley protected by the Bois de Cise, a veritable green setting overlooking the English Channel, it is in Onival, with its sandy beach at low tide that begins, with the Côte d opal, the Hâble d'Ault and, indeed, the ancient Baie de Somme.

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.
