Holiday accommodation: Picardy - Calais

The extremely tidal Somme Bay stretches over some 70km and in these peaceful times is home to Europe’s largest common seal colony and the sandy ‘yachtie’ haven of Le Crotoy and Belle Dune. Nature lovers will love discovering the ornithological park in Marquenterre which shelters thousands of birds, the Audomarois marshlands and the prehistoric site “Somara” with its ancient dwellings.
