The department somme
La Somme is an ideal vacation destination for nature lovers, history buffs, and foodies. Located in northern France, the region offers beautiful landscapes, a rich culture, and delicious cuisine. If you're looking for places to visit during your stay in the Somme, here are the five most beautiful places within 30 minutes of two Capfun campsites: Camping Dune Fleurie in Quend Plage and Camping Val d'Authie in Villers sur Authie.
The first place to visit is the Bay of Somme, which is less than a 20-minute drive from Camping Dune Fleurie. This beautiful bay is one of the most stunning natural sites in France. It is home to a wide variety of birds and seals and offers breathtaking landscapes. You can take a boat ride to discover the beauty of the bay or go for a walk or bike ride on the hiking trails.
The second place to visit is the medieval town of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, just a 15-minute drive from Camping Val d'Authie. This historic town has retained all of its charm and character from the past, with its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and old port. It is also famous for its oysters, which you can taste at one of the many restaurants in the town.
The third place not to be missed is the Marquenterre Park, less than a 25-minute drive from Camping Dune Fleurie. This nature park is home to a wide variety of migratory birds and offers beautiful landscapes. You can walk through the sand dunes, observe the birds, and explore the park's interactive exhibitions.
The fourth place to visit is the Château de Rambures, which is less than a 30-minute drive from Camping Val d'Authie. This medieval castle is one of the most beautiful in the region and houses an impressive collection of weapons and armor. You can stroll through the French gardens and visit the different rooms of the castle.
Finally, the fifth place to visit is the village of Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont, less than a 15-minute drive from Camping Dune Fleurie. This charming little village is famous for its traditional houses made of wattle and wood. You can discover the local crafts, taste the culinary specialties of the region, and smell the fragrances of the lavender fields and hollyhocks.
The Somme also offers delicious and original cuisine. Among the culinary specialties are cider, calvados, seafood, duck from the Bay of Somme, and the famous "gâteau battu." These dishes are often accompanied by cheeses from the region, such as maroilles, neufchâtel, and boulette d'Avesnes.
