Crossing the Somme bay with a naturalist guide, explaining all you want to know about birds, common and grey seals, fauna, flora and landscape, is a fantastic experience. Don not forget to use boots to cross the Somme bay. It's muddy... Furthermore, you have to keep in mind that crossing the Somme bay alone is very dangerous, as you can get trapped quickly by incoming tide and be stuck in the mud.

A fantastic few fours at this park walking the trails and stopping at the numerous hides to watch the birds, waterfowl and various animals. We're not bird watchers, but found it fascinating observing them going about their daily business! several walking trails, all clearly marked out and mostly flat and easy. We did the longest one, the red trail at 6km which took about 2.5 hours because we stopped at all 13 hides to use our binoculars (you can rent them here...) and to take photos. There's a café, more of a restaurant really, a shop, toilets, large picnic areas and plenty of parking. Admittance was around 10 euros each which we thought very good value. A great half day out!

La Grange Nature is a center to raise awareness and education about nature. There is ample parking. It is is next to a ‘Reserve Naturelle des Étangs de Romelaere’, with walks amongst marshes with ponds and rivers/canals. In July it was full of vegetation and lots of wildlife. The walks are easy as they are on wood boards. There is large hut to observe: cormorans, grebes, aigrettes, ducks, with drawings and names of birds. This reserve also has bitterns! (although we could not see one then). There is a river to cross on a ferry that one pulls across the river by a chain. It is reasonably easy to do for an adult or teenager. Lots of explanations on the environment. There are several circuits, from 1.2 to 4 km, some of which accessible for all. Nice place to spend time at.

A work colleague had to manually ‘force’ me to come here, prior to a work meeting ‘so as to exorcise a bad experience with a French lady’, last year. Fair play to him - it worked. A pleasant early morning jog/run along the beach which is unspoiled and has a natural essence to it. Very cold, but, of course the air is ‘sea fresh’. Parking is good and in close proximity. Well worth a visit, tbh.
