Port of La Madelon

Highlight • River

Once flourishing under the protection of Waben Castle, the port of Madelon, with its medieval Berck fishing fleet, evolved into a marina due to the siltation of Authie Bay. Today, it has become a simple pontoon near a parking lot, but the setting remains very pleasant and the site is worth the detour!

Château d'Authie

Highlight • Castle

It is in the small village of Conchil-le-Temple that the castle of Pas d'Authie is erected. Towards the middle of the 19th century, Baron de Torcy Félix Moulart had a castle built on the site of a 17th century farm. The park also extends over the old farmyard, of which the pond and the dovecote have survived. Today listed as a Historic Monument, this beautiful residence has preserved a certain charm. Its gardens are open to visitors in high season.

Quend-Plage les Pins Chapel

Highlight • Other

This chapel is located in Quend, near Fort-Mahon. Simple but very beautiful, it has beautiful, very colorful stained glass windows. The stained glass windows are the work of the Abbeville painter Boubert and date from 1952. They symbolize the daily life of the village, its culture and its landscapes. They are hand-painted (a description of the stained glass windows is available in the Chapel)

Waben - Foraine d'Authie

Highlight • Other

Northern access to the old sand and gravel mines that created the large lakes today teeming with nature and wildlife. The site of the Foraine d'Authie is made up of a series of bodies of water resulting from the former exploitation of glacial pebble deposits. This former quarry, in the process of being recolonized by the natural environment, has been the subject of recent developments for ornithological purposes (islets, mudflats, etc.), associated with the grazing of the meadows. These allow a large public to enjoy the discovery of the site and to admire the Spoonbills, Cormorants, Mediterranean Gulls, Avocets, Mergansers, etc., which have repopulated this natural space.
