Cayeux-sur-mer / Le Tréport La Vélomaritime - EuroVelo 4

At Cayeux-sur-Mer’s beach, get back on your bike to cross Le Hable d'Ault, discovering this very old lagoon, protected from the sea by a pebble bank and providing refuge for many birds. From Bourseville to Mers-les- Bains, La Vélomaritime’s route takes you on a discovery trail. Don’t hesitate to get off this trail to stop at Ault and Le Bois de Cise, resorts strongly marked by the Art Deco period, like Mers-les-Bains, a seaside town that also boasts a fine Belle Epoque legacy as well as ancient cliffs. Crossing to Le Tréport, get a taste of what awaits you in the rest of Normandy.
