Réserve naturelle nationale de la baie de Canche
Réserve naturelle nationale de la baie de Canche, National nature reserve in Étaples and Camiers, France
The Baie de Canche Reserve spans 505 hectares of protected land, featuring dunes, marshes, and tidal channels along the French coast.
The Canche estuary underwent significant environmental changes during the Carolingian period when the sea submerged parts of the coastal area.
Scientists conduct regular ecological studies in the reserve to monitor wildlife populations, particularly focusing on wild boars and foxes.
Visitors can explore three marked trails within the reserve, including the 10.7 km coastal path and two shorter routes of 2.9 km and 2.2 km.
The reserve contains sand dunes deposited on ancient chalk cliffs, creating specific conditions for plant and animal species adaptation.
