Located in the Somme department in the Hauts-de-France region, the city of Abbeville has a population of about 25,000 and enjoys a prime location between the city of Amiens and the famous Bay of the Somme. Surrounded by marshes and protected natural areas, the city offers an ideal setting for outdoor activities. Whether it’s strolling through Bouvaque Park, driving on a racetrack, or enjoying water sports in Le Crotoy, discover 5 activities you definitely won’t want to miss in the historic capital of Ponthieu!
Calling all car enthusiasts: this activity is made for you. The Somme region is well known for its famous Abbeville race track, built just a few kilometers from the Bay and designed by renowned rally driver Gilles Stievenart. On site, the staff will give you the chance to channel your inner Schumacher for a moment and take the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560.
This car’s aerodynamic design will delight both novice and experienced drivers, who can race down the 2,300-meter-long track and enjoy the circuit’s variety of straights, fast corners, and hairpin turns! As for safety, there’s nothing to worry about: an instructor will be by your side throughout the day, and you’ll even warm up behind the wheel of a magnificent Porsche Cayenne for a few laps around the track!
Head to the Abbeville airfield for this second activity offered by Sonia, a passionate lover of flying and nature, who invites you to a first-time flight in a paramotor. “Paramotor?” you ask. “What’s that?” Well, it’s quite simply the smallest aircraft in the world, consisting of a paraglider wing and a propeller-driven engine! But it’s also the safest in terms of safety!
And it’s aboard a two-seater model that Sonia will take you on a tour of the Bay of the Somme… from the sky! Here’s a little preview of what awaits you: a blue, sunny sky, a feeling of total freedom as you glide through the clouds, and a breathtaking panoramic view of the salt marshes, the sandbars that emerge with the tides, and even the iconic ramparts of the medieval town of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme!
Va’a en Baie is the go-to provider for kayaking… or canoeing! And we’re talking about Polynesian canoes here, since “Va’a” is actually the Polynesian word for this type of boat. Setting out from Abbeville, you’ll explorethe Somme estuary and its wild, unspoiled natural environment, where wildlife, flora, and migratory birds thrive.
Your guide for the sea excursion: Olivier, a world-renowned expert in the field, a highly skilled technician, a state-certified instructor, and a distinguished guide among the bay’s instructors, who will share his best stories about the region with passion and a touch of humor! Don’t forget to bring your camera—seals sometimes come out to play with the boats!
For families seeking peace and quiet, head to La Bouvaque Municipal Park, a vast green space of about 60 hectares featuring meadows, ponds, reed beds, and well-maintained trails. Easily accessible on foot or by bike from downtown, this eco-friendly park is a peaceful spot perfect for observing local flora and fauna… and for relaxing.
Once there, our guide Noé will take you on a guided tour to explore this little “green lung of Abbeville.” You’ll discover the local wildlife—such as ducks—and the famous “Sources Bleues,” bodies of water with stunning reflections that showcase the site’s natural richness. Don’t forget your boots, because the Marais de la Bouvaque sometimes has a few surprises in store!
Histo Game is a leisure center unlike any other. Housed in a restored historic building in the heart of the city—once the headquarters of the former Banque de France—Franqueville Nicolas and his family chose this place steeped in history, with its Art Nouveau decor, to host theirescape games!
