A journey on the metre gauge Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme from St Valery-sur-Somme to Le Crotoy in northern France. This is the pretty terminal station at Le Crotoy with the turntable & engine shed in the foreground. Our train from St Valery was pulled by Nord 0-6-0 diesel 352 seen in the platform.

The sea birds vie for space with the kite fliers on the beach. Looking across the wetlands of the Somme estuary to the town of Le Crotoy on the Channel coast. This was taken from the window of the train to St Valery-sur-Somme on the Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme. In 1674, under the terms of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, the castle of Crotoy, dating from 1340, was destroyed so I'm not sure what that Disney-ish castellated building is.
