Cliffs Ault,Mers, Le Tréport

Ault

Between Normandy cliffs and low fields that lead to the bay of Somme, Ault delivers you an impregnable view on one of the most beautiful bays of the world.

Former port, Ault offers you a multitude of landscapes and a rich historical past. Nicknamed “balcony on the sea”, from the top of the cliffs you will be able to contemplate the colors and the charm of the bay. Passing the pebbled cord, you will discover an extensive pasture, called “hâble d’Ault”, which means harbor. In the Middle Ages, the hâble d’Ault was the largest fishing center in northern France. Over time and the erosion of cliffs, some of the land was isolated from marine influence. Today, the site is set up for agricultural purposes and shelters the second reserve avifauna of the Picardy coasts. On the cliff of Onival you can see the lighthouse of Ault, built in 1951, replacing the one built in 1885 but destroyed by the German army in 1940
