La Grange Nature is a center to raise awareness and education about nature. There is ample parking. It is is next to a ‘Reserve Naturelle des Étangs de Romelaere’, with walks amongst marshes with ponds and rivers/canals. In July it was full of vegetation and lots of wildlife. The walks are easy as they are on wood boards. There is large hut to observe: cormorans, grebes, aigrettes, ducks, with drawings and names of birds. This reserve also has bitterns! (although we could not see one then). There is a river to cross on a ferry that one pulls across the river by a chain. It is reasonably easy to do for an adult or teenager. Lots of explanations on the environment. There are several circuits, from 1.2 to 4 km, some of which accessible for all. Nice place to spend time at.

A work colleague had to manually ‘force’ me to come here, prior to a work meeting ‘so as to exorcise a bad experience with a French lady’, last year. Fair play to him - it worked. A pleasant early morning jog/run along the beach which is unspoiled and has a natural essence to it. Very cold, but, of course the air is ‘sea fresh’. Parking is good and in close proximity. Well worth a visit, tbh.

The beautiful Bay of Authie extends from the southern end of Berck's gargantuan beach in a satisfying, dune-ridged, forest-fringed crescent, where the tide is either smashing against the man-made boulder barrier or glistening in some unfeasibly distant twinkle. When the tide is two hours out, the seals (a huge collection of Grey and Common) are visible on the sand banks across from the breakwater at a distance of a hundred metres or so. When the tide is fully out (and, MY WORD, does it go out!) at around 18.00/19.00, the seals (who constantly need the proximity of water), can be found alongside the only remaining channel, at the far southern end of Berck beach, as close as thirty metres across the water! This is the best time to view them. Not only are they clearly visible, but many take quick swims and frequently pop-up within a few metres of the lines of humans, eagerly watching and filming them on the opposite bank. When the tide rushes back in at 20.00, the seals are washed back in towards the cusp of the bay and, as they float along, they can be observed as close as a few feet away. We were incredibly unfortunate (the handful of us that had hung on) to witness a baby seal curiously raise it's head on several occassions, just two metres (6 foot) from where we were stood. Fantastic!
