The Baie de Somme, a natural gem close to Belgium, has been named the third most sustainable destination in the world by the Green Destinations Story Awards. This recognition underscores the region's remarkable efforts in the field of sustainable tourism, thanks in particular to its extensive network of 160 km of interconnected cycle paths that promote soft mobility. The region has preserved its varied landscapes, from cliffs to marshes, and its biodiversity, in particular through the Parc du Marquenterre, a nature reserve where birdwatching is particularly popular. These initiatives contribute to a long-term vision that protects the environment while anticipating the challenges of over-visiting.
