St. Valery sur Somme Travel Guide

St Valery sur Somme - a wonderful medieval town from where William the Conqueror set sail for England.

Situated on the mouth of the River Somme, with some of the best ornithology sites in Northern France as a backdrop at least 315 bird species have been identified in the area, this town consists of a cobbled old town with narrow streets and lanes, and more modern section which does not detract from the overall look and feel of the town. The town is built along and extends outwards from the banks of the estuary,hence it has a great seaside feel,with a busy port both commercially and for the tourist trade.

Le Beau Rivage is great for Pizza - either served on the premises or take-away.
