the trip description
On the coast of the English Channel, the Bay of Somme is a necessary step of migratory birds and a natural area remarkably protected! You will be charmed by the diversity of the landscapes, the rich fauna and flora. You discover the charming seaside towns of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme or Le Crotoy, the long sandy beaches of Quend-Plage and Fort-Mahon, the pine covered dunes, the rural landscape or the forest of Crecy home of strange trees. Take the bike paths and small roads to observe rare birds in the Marquenterre Bird Park. And if you are lucky, you can even see the famous seals of the Somme!

“ Séjour magnifique en Baie de Somme ”
On the 2017-09-06 by Frédérique
L'organisation est soignée comme d'habitude. Les vélos tous neufs. Nous avons pu demander le changement d'une selle. Le loueur était tout disponible pour nous satisfaire. Le circuit est très intéressant. Le parcours varié. Très bon moyen d’appréhender la région, même en 4 jours. Nous étions très satisfaits.
“ Très bien. ”

Très belle balade entre mer, oiseaux et forêt.
“ Super vacances en Baie de Somme ”
On the 2017-06-11 by Michel
Super séjour de vacances actives et reposantes autour de la baie de Somme, en toute liberté, sécurité, sérénité en sachant qu'une bonne organisation prend en charge tous les soucis organisationnels ... Nous avons eu le temps de découvrir à notre rythme une super région, un peu (trop ...) venteuse ... par moment ...
“ Baie de Somme, que du bonheur ”
On the 2016-06-12 by Guy and Co
Nous étions quinze à partager cette très belle semaine cycliste en Baie de Somme. Pour notre plus grand plaisir, un soleil radieux s'était invité ce qui ne fut pas pour nous déplaire. A chaque fin d'étape, un diner gastronomique nous attendait afin de combler notre appétit, venait ensuite un sommeil réparateur dans des hôtels extra.
“ Belle surprise la baie de Somme ! ”
On the 2015-08-30 by Martine and co
Très belle région avec une atmosphère particulière qui a inspiré de nombreux peintres.Circuit très bien ciblé pour les vélos avec des pistes cyclables, petites routes ou chemins tranquilles. Le parc du Marquanterre et la forêt de Crécy valent le détour. Un bémol sur l'équipement des vélos qui ne correspond pas à la demande.
