Cliffs of Ault

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is in Ault that the Normandy cliffs begin to rise.
Even if the city has lost its splendor, the site is impressive, because to the north, the plain of the Bay of Somme extends, and to the west, the cliffs as far as Le Havre.
In my photo, unfortunately, I was not able to capture a beautiful light, but believe me, this is the land of exceptional lights.
Have a nice ride everyone.

Ault Chalk Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The village of Ault (ch'bourqu'éd'Eut, in Picard) has an exceptional geographical location. At the edge of the cliffs of the Normandy Alabaster Coast, with its valley protected by the Bois de Cise, a veritable green setting overlooking the English Channel, it is in Onival, with its sandy beach at low tide that begins, with the Côte d opal, the Hâble d'Ault and, indeed, the ancient Baie de Somme.

Grand chemin côtier

Highlight • Other

Beautiful path, we take advantage of the elements, the view, the flora and fauna. Plan some obstacle crossings which allow the horses and cows to be left in their enclosures.

Bois de Cise

Highlight • Other

A green setting in the heart of the cliffs, classified as a picturesque area since 1959.
The Bois de Cise is an exceptional natural area, a small natural forest, originally wild and abandoned, which became a famous seaside resort during the Belle Époque under the leadership of a visionary who stopped at nothing.
This coastal forest was originally a wild forest and a hunting ground in the Middle Ages. At the end of the 19th century, the Bois de Cise was sold off in lots on the initiative of a property developer and became a famous seaside resort of the Belle Époque.
Today, it is a charming holiday and walking area that is best explored on foot via the narrow paths and wooden steps that crisscross the area. Very beautiful villas bear witness to the prosperous years before the First World War.
Don't forget to go to the panorama, like Victor Hugo in his time, a fantastic viewpoint from which you can see the mouth of the Bay of Somme.
