There were four women on this hike... it was pretty nice and easy to follow and do.
There was just a muddy section a few metres long due to the rain, which made it difficult to get through.

The walks are scheduled for the end of May.
Would it be possible to indicate whether dogs are allowed on a leash along the entire route? Last year, we had to turn back on the Royen dune walk starting from Quend. At Fort-Mahon, we couldn't return via the beach as planned.
Thank you very much,

Would it be possible to indicate if there are any routes that are off-limits to dogs? Last year, we had to turn back at Fort-Mahon on the Royen dune walk from Quend instead of returning by the sea.
Thank you for finding a solution for walkers accompanied by their dogs (on a leash)

A pleasant walk with the children. Unfortunately for us, it was foggy that day. We would definitely do it again when the sun is out to get a better view.

If you would like to extend the walk, start from Le Tréport and take the footbridges to Mers. Follow the seafront and discover the magnificent 19th-century residences. Follow the signposted walk and return to Le Tréport via the main square, which leads to the water sports centre. From the heights of Mers, you can see the Château d'Eu.

A pleasant walk with the children. A lovely view from the cliffs.

New feature? At the end of the field after the statue of the Virgin Mary, ladders allow you to climb over two fences and cross a meadow to reach the corner of the cemetery. For young children, it's a real adventure, but it shortens the distance by a good kilometre :-)

A pleasant hike in the hills above Mers-les-Bains. The terrain is easy, making this hike suitable for families. You can enjoy both the seaside landscape with its cliffs and the countryside with its fields and meadows.
