The landscape of the Baie de Somme is made up of over 70 square kilometres of pebble beaches and sand dunes, which are among the largest in Europe. 

In order to improve crop growing and livestock rearing, Man encroached upon the sea by creating polders. Today, as the bay is silting up, “depolderisation” is underway, in other words, the process of returning the land gained since the Middle Ages to the sea.
