Côte d'Opale (2): Ambleteuse, the dunes and Fort Mahon


Ambleteuse was the first of seaside resorts we were passing through, where we stopped: they all are  of really beautiful architecture (not captured this time) and with impressively wide beaches.






Along the shore south of Ambleteuse there are sand dunes, we saw them on day 1 and walked a path along on day 3. There is a circular walk through them, but it was a bit too long for that day. The access is restricted in attempt to preserve the dunes






It took me a moment to locate the Fort Mahon (that was the primary reason to stop in Ambleteuse on the way), as there is also (apparently more popular) Fort-Mahon-Plage village further south the coast. I'm not sure if it was the shape or location or some hidden charm of this structure, but it definitely cought my attention :)
