The village of Ault (ch'bourqu'éd'Eut, in Picard) has an exceptional geographical location. At the edge of the cliffs of the Normandy Alabaster Coast, with its valley protected by the Bois de Cise, a veritable green setting overlooking the English Channel, it is in Onival, with its sandy beach at low tide that begins, with the Côte d opal, the Hâble d'Ault and, indeed, the ancient Baie de Somme.

Cliffs of Ault

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is in Ault that the Normandy cliffs begin to rise.
Even if the city has lost its splendor, the site is impressive, because to the north, the plain of the Bay of Somme extends, and to the west, the cliffs as far as Le Havre.
In my photo, unfortunately, I was not able to capture a beautiful light, but believe me, this is the land of exceptional lights.
Have a nice ride everyone.

Ault Coastal Panorama

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fantastic viewpoint, with orientation table and benches with spectacular perspective. Steep bike/pedestrian road, closed to cars as the cliffs are crumbling and the edge advances closer to the village.

Hâble d'Ault 🌊🌿 Nature Reserve 🐎

Highlight • Other

Until the 18th century, the Hâble d'Ault was a bay that served as a refuge during heavy storms. As the bay was increasingly closed off from the sea by stones falling from the cliffs of Ault and the Pays de Caux, forming a kind of dike, the area has turned into a lagoon with marshes. About 200 species of birds live here, including ducks, geese and waders. Part of the lagoon is protected and owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, the other 62 hectares serve as a hunting reserve. In June and July, when sea kale, clover and wild thyme bloom, the Hâble is shrouded in bright purple and yellow colours.

Cayeux-sur-Mer - Hable d'Ault

Highlight • Structure

The name Cayeux is derived from the Picardy cailloux (pebbles). Picking pebbles is therefore an ancient activity. They are mainly used in industry, where they are finely ground for sandpaper, grinding stones, filters, etc. The rarest type, the blue boulder, is used for the production of porcelain.
The chemin des planches, one of the longest plank paths in Europe (2 km), runs alongside the promenade of this climatic health resort, along with 409 wooden beach huts. The Plages de la Mollière stretches from Le Hâble d'Ault to Le Hourdel. Hiking trails have been laid out in the Bois de Brighton.
The contributions of Cayeux sailors and fishermen made it possible to build the Chapelle des Marins, a chapel dedicated to Mary, which was built in the 1960s. Note the original tympanum of artful carvings.
