Quend walks

A feeling of the beginning of the world on this immense beach on the Opal Coast.Get there by bus, then on foot via the GR®120. A real treat.

From Port du Hourdel, there is a coastal route that returns along the ponds and passes by the Maison des Oiseaux. Important note from one of our friends: please note that parking at Le Hourdel is subject to a charge, even in low season. However, the car park located between (3) and (4) was free when we went on our walk. It was therefore possible to start the walk from this new starting point.

This short walk of just under 6 km in and around Saint-Valery-sur-Somme is full of charm with its fishermen's streets lined with decorated and flower-filled houses, its sailors' calvary with views of the entire bay and the town, its quays along the Somme and its Saint-Valery Chapel, known as the Sailors' Chapel, not to mention its history with the Porte Jeanne d'Arc and numerous views of the Bay of Somme

A very fine hike, albeit a little physically demanding.

By keeping well to the left of the path, it is still possible to enjoy the views.

This walk allows you to discover the Authie valley on the east side. We pass by the old Auxi-le-Château railway station, which is a fine example of the restoration and conversion of existing heritage.

From Hardelot, the trail continues along the beach. It temporarily leaves the beach to cross the Mont Saint-Frieux dune. At Camier, it leaves the coast to join the trail that crosses the Baie de Canche Nature Reserve, offering a beautiful view of the bay. It then descends to the Canche estuary, which it follows up to Étaples.

A mix of surprising landscapes: a faux medieval castle, a forest of deciduous and coniferous trees, then you come out at the top of a dune overlooking the beach. Most of the walk is in the shade and there is a beach for picnics.

Enjoy varied landscapes in the heart of the Samer countryside, with nature, local heritage and a bucolic atmosphere.

A short but fairly strenuous route with a steep hill and some very grassy paths. On 12/08/2025: the start of the trail is once again very overgrown (brambles and nettles). It's passable but it's best to wear trousers or good gaiters and, of course, bring a walking stick or even a pair of secateurs.

It's a route that will delight altitude enthusiasts (Carto exploreur and the Visorando app suggest it's as high as 500m). What's more, the views are stunning. Route slightly modified in November 2019. All trails are very good as of May 14, 2020 (even if some are very grassy).

Lovely family outing in the Desvroise countryside, on small paved country roads.Passes close to streams, forests, villages and farms.
