From Saint-Valery-sur-Somme to Abbeville

The crossing of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, a pretty little mediaeval town, heralds the Bay of the Somme. A vast river mouth that is navigable at high tide, it is famous for its nature reserve for migratory birds, shellfish gathering and its fine network of cycle paths.
