parc du marquenterre印象

Great wetland landscapes, and so many different and interesting birds as to enthrall even casual visitors like us. We tried the Wednesday evening after-closing special visit. It starts at 6 PM, lasted almost 3 hours with an enthusiastic guide pampering us around, spotting and helping us see quite rare birds and telling interesting stories - in addition to such a wealth of bird sightings as to make even younger children more than happy. And, of course, no crowds at all - less then a dozen of us with the whole park to ourselves.The 30 Euro fee results in a very good deal since the "dégustation du terroir" (local food tasting" turns out to be a nice and plentiful if cold dinner with the guide and the rest of the party, another hour or more in extremely pleasant company with all-round discussions on what brought us here.

We did the longest circuit of the Parc and spent about 4 hours watching a huge variety of birds in a series of hides. It was all very well organized and there were guides and notices to give information. Ticketing was a bit slow and the restaurant was somewhat overwhelmed on a sunny day of the Easter holiday but these are small niggles as we had a great morning's bird-watching.

For someone who's not a bird watcher the entrance fee of 10,50 euro is quite steep because a visit to the Marquenterre basically comes down to a nature walk. However, if you're interested in birds this is an incredible place. You can choose from three colour-codes walks (on wooden paths) that lead you past a total of 13 cabins that overlook the ponds where swans, spoonbills, ducks, cormorant, herons and other waterbirds gather. There are also storks and horses. Make sure to hire binoculars ((very decent, by the way!) at the entrance!!! Park rangers are present on the site with heavy monoscopes to get an even better view and give all the explanation you want or need. We met the head ranger who's extremely passionate about his job. Mind you: dogs are not alowed in the park.

Visited late afternoon and were treated to a variety of birds including white storks, herons and spoonbills. Site well laid out with plenty of hides and helpful staff in some of the hides with telescopes available to use. 3 trailers all well laid out. A must for any nature lover, place teaming with dragonflies and damselflies. Site as special car park for camping cars.

A great birdwatching visit at this well organised but busy Parc in the Baie du Somme. We saw over 40 spoonbills, 10 great egrets and a crane as well as numerous waders and ducks. The Parc has well defined routes with the longest at 6 kilometres by far the best. Visiting at high tide is recommended as there are more birds about then. In late October, we were lucky to have glorious sunny weather and one of the highlights was to watch the bearded tits were feasting on bullrushes. The spoonbills were close and very impressive too.There are 12 hides dotted around the Parc; each has many small viewing openings cut at various heights and in odd shapes in the wooden structure. These can be annoying as there is really nowhere to sit down and you can easily get a stiff neck from crouching or stretching to see out of the small holes.Overall, a great Parc but they could learn something from the RSPB in how to construct hides that are more birdwatchers friendly!

Beautiful. The walks were color coded and extremely easy to follow. It was a well planned layout with winding paths that took us very close to the birds. It was a fascinating experience for all of us, especially for our 16 month old daughter, as we got to see swans, different types of ducks and storks. The tranquility of the location and it's scenic beauty make it a welcome haven for the birds. We hope to go back.

Amazing in this day and age that there is so little effort put into making the place disabled friendly, other than a couple of hills one at the start and another half way it pretty flat but the path could be much better and the hides are impossible to enter and have no low level windows for wheel chair viewing. No deduction for helper for disabled persons. Not a lot outside of migration and breeding seasons to sea, not value for money at all

Another fantastic trip to Marquanterre. We added three new birds to our list and enjoyed seeing many more that were familiar to us.The guides are very knowledgable and helpful and will show you birds through their excellent telescopes. We love Marquanterre and will be back again as soon as circumstances allow.One of the highlights this year was seeing dozens of nesting Storks and Spoonbills.

We last visited 20 years ago when it was pretty empty of people. This time, mid-week, there was a queue of all sorts and ages. Good for a general naturelover who wants a stroll, or for keener birders who are prepared to walk a bit further. Reasonable cafe and toilets.

This is a super location, well worth the short drive from where you might be staying in the Somme estuary. There are a variety of waymarked, easy to follow walks between the dozen or so hides situated around the site. Binoculars are essential and may be hired if you do not have them, though several hides were staffed with friendly volunteers equipped with high powered monoculars to use. The footpaths between the hides are fairly sheltered with bushes and trees, so even on the wet day when we looked around it was still very worthwhile. Highly recommended.
