A magnificent hike among gabions and birds, ending with a view of the sea stretching as far as the eye can see.

A very beautiful hike that begins with a magnificent view of the fields, marshes and sea...then we pass through the marshes near the hunting huts and fishermen to reach the sea wall. The description is perfect.

A very beautiful hike starting from the typical Picardy restaurant "Ches Troes Piots Coechons". You quickly get a clear view of the sea before descending and entering the marshes. The road is elevated and dry. Don't hesitate to climb up onto the dyke to see and walk along the sea.

A beautiful hike in this very unique countryside, accessible to all and very quiet except for a few fishermen along the harbour. We didn't go swimming due to the rather cool weather! In addition to the harbour, there are beautiful views of the Ault cliffs. However, caution is advised in hot weather as you are very exposed.

Great route! It starts in a neighbourhood with beautiful houses overlooking the sea, then heads towards the coast through pastures. The sea view isn't long but very pleasant. The return trip is easy (almost straight ahead the whole way) but also passes through some pretty spots.

Magnificent view of Ault and the cliffs. Best done at the end of the day for photos. The part outside the marshes is less interesting. Although the route through the marshes is very difficult to follow without signposts, the walk would have been even more enjoyable if we had avoided the stony paths open to traffic and constantly criss-crossed by hunters.
