Le Crotoy

Le Crotoy has distinguished itself many times in history. As the departure point for several of William the Conqueror's ships heading towards England in the 11th century, the small town became famous as a fishing port in the 17th century and became a major seaside resort in the mid-19th century, highly appreciated by famous figures such as Victor Hugo, Toulouse-Lautrec, Jules Verne and Pierre Guerlain.

The resort still reveals the charm and picturesque character of a small fishing harbour.

Its fishermen's houses stand alongside elegant "Belle Epoque" villas along the sandy beach, which is the only beach in the north facing south : an ideal playground for water sports enthusiasts, hikers and other outdoor sports lovers.

When you stay at the 2-stars Hôtel de la Baie de Somme in Le Crotoy, you're just two hours from the Belgian border, in the Hauts de France region, in the heart of one of the most beautiful bays in the world, a remarkable site in many ways.
