Looking for some out of beaten tracks activities this summer ?
>> Les Belles Echappées
The 2CV is a mythical car in France. Produced by Citroën between 1949 and 1990, this popular car is now a delight for the collectors.
Bruno and Olivier have restored several 2CV and equipped them with GPS to go touring along the Opal Coast, through Flanders and the Artois. But they have more than one string to their bow: they also propose new ways to discover St Omer and the marshes with their original E-solex, an eco-friendly mean of transport, silent and powered by electric batteries .Tricycles and tandems are also at disposal.

>> Sea Fishing aboard the “Ville d’Etaples”
The “Ville d’Etaples” can take parties of 12 for 12 hour sea fishing trips. The crew is composed of 2 experienced fishermen. Make the most of a sunny day to embark for an unusual experience 5 miles off the coast. The main purpose of this day is not to establish a new record or to fill in the freezer but to simply discover an ancestral method of fishing.
Don’t forget to dress accordingly: windcheater, boots, warm clothes and bring along a snack. Don’t forget to bring bait! The skipper is the only person to authorize departure. If the weather conditions are bad, your ticket will be fully refunded.
Opening from April to September
Tarif: 45.80€ per fisherman
503.80€ for a group of 12 fishermen
