July 22, 2023,Tour des Flussregenpfeifers (Le circuit du Gravelot) - Saint-Valery-sur-Somme

After starting in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, the "La Vélo maritime" cycle path takes you directly to the Le Hourdel lighthouse. From there via a track along the beach to Cayeux-sur-Mer with its long rows of beach huts. You pass the Brighton lighthouse and destroyed bunker remains. It's back to Saint-Valery through the very varied landscape and small hamlets.
