Walk along the cliffs and contemplate the sea
Discover the majesty of the Picardy cliffs in Ault and Le Tréport: the Bois de Cise beach offers a romantic, wooded setting, while the Tréport funicular takes you to a spectacular panorama.
Take a trip to Abbeville
Treat yourself to an urban break near the château: visit the Saint-Vulfran collegiate church, stroll through the Jardin d’Émonville, have a coffee on the terrace or enjoy a film in the pretty Art Deco Le Rex cinema.
Treat yourself to a pampering moment at Château Le Bas Bleu
After the excitement of the tours, enjoy the serenity of the estate: tea in the blue lounge, reading in the shade of the trees, or a spa session with sauna, hot bath and massage.
