Discover Petit Port

When planning a stay in Petit Port, you can consider nature and cycling as separate areas of focus. At the communal marsh, the features described include a wooden boardwalk, educational information panels and a circular walking trail. The Maison du Vélo offers bicycle rental and is the starting and ending point of a named hike. You can shape your stay according to whether you want to explore the marsh, plan a hike or look into the cycling options.

Wooden boardwalk and circular trail at the communal marsh

At the entrance to the communal marsh near Petit Port, there is a wooden boardwalk and educational information panels. They provide a specific starting point for your visit and combine time at the marsh with information on site. The communal marsh can be reached on foot via the canal path near Petit Port. Check access conditions on site before your visit.

A circular walking trail runs around the communal marsh, with a stated duration of one hour. This timeframe can help you fit your visit into your day’s plans. The hike “E’l Fond de Somme” has a different fixed reference point: it starts and ends at the Maison du Vélo in Petit Port. When planning, you can therefore distinguish between a circular trail around the marsh and a hike that starts and finishes at the Maison du Vélo.

Maison du Vélo and cycling route

The Maison du Vélo in Petit-Port–Saigneville is on the banks of the Somme Canal, next to the Vallée de Somme cycling route between Abbeville and Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. Bicycle rental is available at the Maison du Vélo; check availability before your trip.

Children’s groups are welcomed there for multi-activity sessions. The seasonal programme runs from the Easter holidays to the All Saints’ holidays; dates may change. If you are planning a group activity, ask for the current times in advance. This helps you keep both the seasonal schedule and the practical details of your trip in view.

Bicycle types and sizes

The bicycle rental options list VTC bikes in sizes S for 150 to 168 centimetres, TM for 168 to 178 centimetres, and TL/XL for 178 to 188 centimetres. The same sizes and height ranges apply to the electric bikes on offer. This lets you assess the listed categories in advance using the size information.

Mountain bikes are listed in sizes XS, TS, TM, TL and TXL. Children’s mountain bikes are listed by wheel size and height: 16 inches for children under 110 centimetres, 20 inches for 105 to 120 centimetres, 24 inches for 120 to 140 centimetres, and 27.5 inches in size XS for 140 to 155 centimetres. The information therefore distinguishes the VTC and electric-bike sizes from the mountain-bike categories and the children’s bikes listed by wheel size. The equipment categories on offer may change; check before your trip whether rental and your preferred category are available.

Another activity

The game “Chés muches dins chés varvacieres” is another possible activity to include in your plans: it is offered in a version for individuals and seniors. As formats may change, ask in advance about the current version if you would like to include the game in your trip.
