On the Seagull Route

Highlight • Natural

The Crotoy municipal marsh is often compared to a miniature version of the Camargue, offering a panorama rich in biodiversity. This natural space promises a total immersion experience for flora and fauna lovers. Don't forget your binoculars to better observe the various species that make their home there, such as storks, swans, ponies and Highland cows. It is also possible to hear or see the green tree frog, an amphibian characteristic of this region.

Kanal der Somme

Highlight • Other

This long straight section which ends its route in the Bay of Somme and Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme is just magnificent.

If the sun is out, your end of the stage will be all the more beautiful.

The canal follows the course of the River Somme and is a combination of a side canal and a canalised river. Construction work had already begun in 1770, but was not completed until 1843. It was intended to connect St. Quentin with the English Channel for freight traffic. However, economic use has been in decline for many decades, but like many canals in France, tourist use by pleasure craft and houseboats is increasing. (Wikipedia)
Like most canals in France, this one is also made accessible by accompanying cycle paths. A relaxed, sometimes also meditative cycling, because there is not so much variety. But also absolutely beautiful landscapes on the unregulated Somme lined with castles and mansions delight cyclists again and again

Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Other

While being on the outskirts of the city, you feel like in another universe. Whether on the side of the floating gardens, also called hortillonnages, or the peacefully flowing river, you no longer know where to look. Everyone will find in this route reasons to stroll and admire or else to practice a sporting activity far from the tumults of the city. This path being narrow in places and sometimes very busy, please respect other users, remain courteous and careful.
