Baie de Somme

The Somme River flows into the English Channel forming an estuary of 72 km2
It includes three zones: the low part, discovered during the spring tides, the sandy zone, a real bird's guard and the high part covered with vegetation.
The bay of the Somme is thus a vast natural site, preserved, it is a place of observation privileged for the fauna and the flora, hundreds of species of birds land there during their migrations. The estuary is internationally recognized for its ecological wealth; the northern part is classified as a National Nature Reserve.
