Over the years, the town of Le Crotoy has grown close to many visitors as a place where life is good. Like migrating birds, visitors often come back and some even live here part of the year. Today, in the ADSL age when everything must go fast, allow yourself some breathing space in the Somme estuary.

Nature lovers never grow tired of seeing the tide come in, bringing all the birds with it, above our colony of seals. At high tide the sailing boats fill the horizon with their multi-coloured sails; at low tide they leave their place to hikers, sailing carts and traditional sand castles. Do not miss sunrise or sunset: these colours have inspired many wellknown and local artists.

Town Hall, our Tourist Office and our local shopkeepers go out of their way to make your stay a happy one. This guide, published thanks to our advertisers, will help you find a host of useful addresses and contacts for a successful stay. We welcome any ideas you may have on making this guide even better.

Whether you come in Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn: enjoy a wonderful holiday season
