The oceanic climate of Pas-de-Calais is mild and wet near the coast and cooler inland.
Whether you go on foot or by bike, simply enjoying the beautiful landscapes is a pleasure in itself. Understanding how the holes are formed, how the migratory birds behave, will enhance your visit!
You won’t always be able to see the animals. Most mammals and birds don’t like the afternoon heat, nor crowds of walkers. So if you want to observe the wildlife, you’ll have to be quiet and patient.
