Situated in the Nature reserve of the Bay of Somme in northern France, the Marquenterre park is a wild birds paradise. You'll enjoy miles of sandy beaches and dunes and 250-hectare of nature at its best, composed of marshes, dunes, and forests. The bird's reserve hosts around 350 species of birds and animals. Since you packed light, you can rent binoculars and hide in one of the 13 observation posts that allow you to easily observe birds from all over Europe or back from Africa. All along the route and in the observation posts, guides will help you watch and identify the birds.
