A pleasant and enjoyable walk. There is a playground for children once you reach the beach, about halfway through the walk, which is convenient for taking a break.

A lovely little hike for relaxation when you don't have much time, taking you through villages, countryside, marshes and the seafront.

I didn't complete the entire hike. I did the first part, up to the sea wall. We enjoyed the beach and then turned back. It was starting to get hot and I wanted to make sure we had some shaded paths. That didn't take away from the enjoyment of the walk. No difficulty, well described, Mairie castle, Chantereine castle, beautiful scenery. Really nice.

A short, easy walk offering views of a historic castle (the town hall), beautiful Norman residences, the sea and beach with its chalk cliffs, and salt marshes where you can admire a large number of different birds almost within the town itself (we are not far from the Baie de Somme).

Hello Roland,
Thank you, that's absolutely right. I forgot to change that point. Like you, I'm from Eu and I regularly take this walk or the one that goes along the cliffs of Mers, and even though I notice the changes, I don't always think to mention them. I'll see about changing that.

Thanks again,
Have a good hike yourself.

Hello Claire,
It's definitely perfect for a short walk. I'm from Eu and I do this walk regularly.
I should point out that the motorhome area is no longer at your point 3. It has been closed by the council and moved, still to Criel Plage, but to the end of the Herbeux path (in the direction of your description).

Enjoy your walk.
Roland
