In the western suburbs of Abbeville, 19 kilometres from the beaches of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, Moyenneville is the ideal place to set down your suitcases and enjoy the many charms of the Baie de Somme.
Moyenneville is a small, quiet village located in the Somme department, in the Hauts-de-France region. Strictly speaking, Moyenneville has no marked architectural heritage, nor even any particular monuments to visit. Moyenneville is a pleasant town to live in and is the perfect place to stay with your family if you are looking for peace and quiet, for beautiful walks in the countryside away from the crowds. In the heart of the Baie de Somme Regional Natural Park, this charming town will allow you to discover at your own pace all the most beautiful faces of the region. After a long walk through the town, to discover its sometimes opulent houses, head towards Abbeville: nicknamed the "Gateway to the Bay of the Somme", Abbeville is home to a beautiful heritage, such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, famous for its stained glass windows, but also the Château de Bagatelle, known for its English park and its French garden. A small jewel in a green setting, Abbeville is also the perfect place to stroll and cycle along the Somme, towards the bay marshes and the Caubert pond, located less than 4 kilometres from Moyenneville and easily accessible on foot or by bike.
By bike, or by car, you can also reach the medieval and maritime city of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. From its marina to its wide Guillaume towers, through its flower-filled streets and its chapel of the sailors facing the sea, not forgetting its wide sandbanks where the salt-meadow sheep graze at low tide, the whole splendour of the Bay of the Somme will be yours to enjoy. After hiking to Cayeux-sur-Mer along the coast, take the Somme cycle route and discover the hordes of seals and other marine calves that live quietly on the Pointe du Hourdel side (a paradise for photographers and lovers of biodiversity that is home to the largest seal colony in Europe), or take the time to discover the area and its marvellous landscapes thanks to the little steam train that links Cayeux-sur-Mer to Le Crotoy, nothing better than a sporting or contemplative break on the beach of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. Situated opposite Le Crotoy, this long sandy beach is only 25 minutes from the heart of Moyenneville and is housed in one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Famous for walking or fishing, it is also ideal for canoeing, sea kayaking, rowing, water skiing, windsurfing and swimming or lazing around, for perfect holidays in the Baie de Somme!
