Pointe du Touquet

Pointe du Touquet, Classified natural site in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, France.

Pointe du Touquet is a protected natural site along the French coast spanning a large area with sand dunes and flat coastal zones. The territory includes the Banc du Pilori, a sandbank that separates the ocean from the Canche River estuary.

The site received protected status through an official decree in 2001 after being thoroughly studied beforehand. This recognition made it an important conservation area along France's northern coast.

The site's name comes from the pointe, the tip of land where the Canche meets the sea. The municipality's 1999 plan marked discovery trails, planted marram grass and sea buckthorn, removed the siffle-vents, and reserved the corniche road for pedestrians and cyclists. A fitness trail was added within the dune area.

The site is accessible through designated pathways and cycling routes that link different sections while protecting the environment. Visitors should be aware that conditions can vary depending on the season and tides.

The site covers about 432 hectares, mostly on the public maritime domain, and combines the dunes with the Banc du Pilori, a sandbank separating the sea from the Canche estuary. The commission that studied the dossier in 1999 judged that no single element justified protection on its own; only their association forms the Picardy estuary landscape.
