Description
The port of St-Valery-sur-Somme is in the beautiful "Baie de la Somme" and is famous as the place of departure for William the Conqueror in 1066 and was also a resting place for Joan of Arc en route to Rouen. The town is less than one hour from Dieppe, an hour from Boulogne and 75 minutes from Calais. The commune is on the Picardie coast adjacent to the Baie de la Somme and at the mouth of the Somme river. It is 30 km north west of Abbeville and to the west of the battlefields of the Somme. The majority of the commune lies adjacent to the sea and the Somme river on the Quai du Romerel, Quai Courbet, Quai Jeanne d'Arc, Quai Blavet and the Quai Perree. The oldest part of the commune lies on the northern coast to the north west of the main settlement. To the south is the main road, the CD940 between Abbeville and Cayeux-sur-Mer
