Activities and services
The windturbine
Out of respect for the environment, both in terms of layout and operation, the Baie de Somme motorway service station has installed a windturbine, which is used to provide part of its electricity needs. Have a look at this odd, 40 meter high, windturbine. It represents the gateway to the Picardy coast.
The overlook
Gaze out over the Baie de Somme’s magnificent vistas from the terrace and watch the film in the projection room to immerse yourself in the Bay’s sights and sounds.
Bicycle outings
From the Baie de Somme motorway service station, take a break from your steering wheel and mount a bike to check out the country roads, the coast line, the numerous cycle roads along the shore and the various marked trails.
For more information, download our bicycle route booklet (PDF / 2.2 Mb) or check out this site: www.baiecyclette.com.
Services
Set up by SANEF and Conseil Général de la Somme, the Baie de Somme motorway service station has all the amenities of a traditional rest area: service station and Shell convenience store, L’Arche Cafeteria and L’Arche SRBS Café. This is your chance to discover local cuisine while enjoying the view of the surrounding marshes.
