Discover

the region

L'Occient, découvrir la région de la Baie de Somme

The Crotoy can be enjoyed in all seasons

The location of the Occident, on the beach of the Somme’s bay, allows you to indulge in all the seaside pleasures such as kite surfing, waterside horse riding, windsurfing, sand yatching, shore fishing, beach volleyball, and so much more

…. Under the watchful eye of the seals that colonize the bay.

Le Crotoy has a rich history. At every street corner the whisper of a stone reminds us that an illustrious writer, poet of painter once passed through here, drawn by the magical play of light in the Bay of Somme.

So let yourself be carried away by the light and the wind, unless it is already the Crotoy tide ….

Our good addresses in the Crotoy

Welcome to one of the most beautiful bays in the world!

You’ll be able to savour the region’s delicacies and traditions and, above all, discover its lost paths …. There are many of them, changing with the wind and tides.
