Mers les BainsMers les Bains is our next town to visit on our journey around the Somme estuary. We had a pleasant morning in Saint Valery sur Somme and decided to drive the 20 miles to visit Mers les Bains. The town is surrounded by massive chalk cliffs which you can
see in the photos
We had a little trouble getting down to the town centre even with
the sat nav. There are a lot of one way streets that lead you down to the
harbour. We seemed to be going round in circles for awhile but managed
in the end to find the centre.
The road down to the town with the cliffs in the background
The town is built between the sea and the cliffs, the beach is mainly pebbles. There is some sand when the tide is low. The beach faces the English Channel near the river Bresle. The town started
out has a small fishing port. It changed to a beach resort when the railway
came to the town and people could come down from Paris. There are lots of
brightly painted houses and villas cafes and restaurants. The town is very
upmarket
