3-star Les Galets de la Mollière campsite in Cayeux-sur-Mer
At Cayeux-sur-Mer, the face of the Baie de Somme changes: no more fine sandy beaches, but a 17 km long pebble beach, a plank path, a pine forest and a clear horizon as far as England on a clear day.
The 3-star Les Galets de la Mollière campsite fits into this landscape with refreshing authenticity: 6 hectares of greenery, spacious shady pitches, modern mobile homes, heated swimming pool.
The hamlet of La Mollière is the ideal starting point for cycling to the Pointe du Hourdel, where seals come to rest at low tide. An excursion unlike any other on the Picardy coast.
