DISCOVER THE NATURAL
HERITAGE
The cliffs
The coastline of Criel-sur-Mer is part of the Cauchois Littoral
( Site of Community Importance ) and stretches for over 130 kms.
These monumental cliffs exceed 100 meters above sea level. The
highest chalk cliffs in Europe are on the littoral of Criel-sur-Mer
( 106 meters ) as highlighted in the report of Natura 2000. Here, the
cliffs are shaped by the weather conditions. The assault of wind and
rain, causing erosion, make the cliffs recede at an annual average rate of
20 cm and produces the pebbles which you find on the beaches.
Our littoral flora
The flora had to adapt to the natural conditions of our
littoral : chalky ground, wind and important salinity.
Mesnil-Val is one of the last sea resort where you can find the
“Curly Leaf Sea Kale“ or “Crambe Maritima”. This plant offers
a large powder-blue foliage covered with creamy pink flowers
blooming in June. Its strong root system extends through
pebbles to reach the chalk where it takes vital elements. Now,
the Sea Kale has become rare due to the overexploitation of
pebbles on our beaches. Picking them up is forbidden.
4
Our littoral fauna
The river Yères flows into the sea at the
beach of Criel-sur-Mer.
This meeting with the river and with
the sea, attracts both fresh and salt
water birds and offers opportunities to
observe many different species such as
the Kingfisher, the Mallard and the Silver
Gull ( the easiest and most observable
bird of our littoral ).
Le Mont Joli Bois overhangs the sea 106 meters
above sea level, in the heart of a wooded area
where rabbits, squirrels and small game birds can easily be seen.
To preserve this
natural heritage,
only pick up the
shellfish to adult
size and for personal
consumption.
Fishing
Fishing with net is one of the most popular
attractions for tourists spending their holidays in
Criel-sur-Mer or in Mesnil-Val.
At low tide, even beginners will gather winkles,
velvet swimming crabs, mussels and prawns.

THE BEACHES OF
MESNIL-VAL & CRIEL-SUR-MER
Sea bathing
During la Belle Epoque, from the term of the century to the Second
World War, the beaches of Criel and Mesnil-Val were important
resort sites of the Norman littoral. An architecture known as “
balnéaire “ extended on the edges of those two beaches. Magnificent
villas bear witness to this past. In Mesnil-Val for example, you’ll discover
the superb houses of the architect Léon Mériot ( at the front of these
houses, enameled plaques mention his name ). There was even a small casino
in Mesnil-Val, at the place of the existing “ Resto de la Plage “ ; this site was
built in a cliff cavity and was so picturesque that tourists came in great numbers.
