The medieval town, steeped in history, has retained many elements from the Middle Ages: ramparts, towers, gates, a fortress, a church with two naves and fine 'checkerboard' walls combining flint and blocks of sandstone or limestone. The squares and narrow cobbled streets are ideal for a gentle stroll, along flower-decked streets with corbelled, half-timbered houses, the oldest dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, finishing at a lovely little botanical garden (the "Herbarium") tucked away below the ramparts.

Entre amis

Walk along the medieval streets of Saint-Valery with their mixture of urban and natural features. Immerse yourselves in its rich past with powerful figures like William the Conqueror and Joan of Arc! From the upper town there's a wonderful panoramic view of the Baie de Somme. In the distance you can see dugout canoes putting out to sea! Fancy joining them???

En amoureux

The cobbled, flower-decked streets of the old town of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme are perfect for a romantic stroll, hand in hand. Be sure to stop at the Herbarium, a little garden below the ramparts, full of colour and fragrance. Afterwards you can cycle along the quays, past the marina and follow the channel as far as the beach to admire the sunset, feet in the sand, on the terrace of the "Buvette de la plage" (beachside café).

Tips by Hervé

Considered to be one of the jewels of the Picardy coast, Saint-Valery has its head in the clouds and its feet in the water. Great walls, bell tower, cobbled streets, old stone and wild flowers all combine to create its serene and tranquil atmosphere.
