In 1943, a military base was installed by General Erwin Rommel, in charge of the defense of the Atlantic Wall on the Northwest. He transformed the beach into a vast construction site: minefield, construction of blockhouses, IEDs. in August 1944, following the landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the German troops were ordered to withdraw. they take the time to dynamite the lighthouses, destroy their installations and devastate the Hameau du Hourdel.

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.
