Parc du Marquenterre

Activities and services

Guided tours

 

Learn how to observe fauna and flora and which places in the Parc du Marquenterre are of greatest interest at different times of the year.

With every your sense aroused, the nature guides will tell your enthralling tales, help you recognize bird and cricket songs, point out mammal tracks and make you aware of the remarkable botanical diversity found there. Please do not hesitate to ask questions: their scientific knowledge is an inexhaustible mine of information.

To make the most of the singular interest of dawn and dusk, we offer special visits outside of public opening hours. Top off your trip in the heart of the Baie de Somme with a horse drawn carriage ride. This is a great way to explore the coastal areas of the Nature Reserve. A totally new experience, open to everyone.
