Even on an electric mountain bike in turbo mode, some sections are impassable. To get through them more or less, you have to look for the sides of the track, where a bit of grass allows you to pass without getting stuck in the sand.

At the crossroads of dunes, marshes, and pine forests, the Marquenterre Park is a 260-hectare natural sanctuary, in the heart of the Baie de Somme. 🕊Here, hundreds of species of migratory birds stop over — and you can observe them from thirteen observation huts spread along an immersive six-kilometer route (with shorter options). 🔎 Whether visiting freely or on a guided tour, passionate naturalist guides share their knowledge with you, each season. 📸 The park also offers themed walks, photo and ornithology workshops to deepen the experience. 🚲 Good to know for cyclists: - Easy access via cycle paths (Baie de Somme, Le Crotoy…) - On-site bike parking, catering, nature shop/bookstore - Binoculars recommended (available for rent on site) 👉 A must-see for lovers of wild nature and wide open spaces.

The sandy trails are impassable by bike. We had to walk a lot on these trails.

From the beautiful restaurant on the Bay of Authie, a narrow footpath leads past the small harbor of Madelon - and if the water is not too high, it even takes you the three kilometers to the bridge for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders towards the Baie de la Somme.
