Bois de Cise

Hameau de Cise, 80460 Ault

Description

A green setting in the heart of the cliffs, listed as a picturesque site since 1959. The Bois de Cise is an exceptional natural site, a small natural wood, originally wild and deserted, which became a renowned seaside resort during the Belle Époque, under the impetus of a visionary who spared no expense. The Bois littoral was originally a wild wood, then a hunting ground in the Middle Ages. At the end of the 19th century, on the initiative of a property developer, Bois de Cise was sold in lots and became a well-known seaside resort during the Belle Epoque. Today, it's an enchanting place to relax and stroll, best explored on foot along the narrow paths and wooden staircases that criss-cross the site. Some very pretty villas bear witness to the prosperous years before the First World War. Like Victor Hugo in his day, don't forget to visit the panorama, a fantastic viewpoint overlooking the Baie de Somme estuary. Self-guided and guided tours on request.
