The Fête de la Mer in Ault gathers the coastal community around boat blessing, nautical memory and the seafront setting of Onival. Organised around the local nautical tradition, the day honours boats and the people attached to them, with a sea outing when conditions allow. Its ritual simplicity is the point: a town facing the Channel pauses to recognise the sea as work, landscape and shared identity. The result is a compact expression of Picardy coastal life.
