In Rang-Du-Fliers, visitors can enjoy a range of different activities: an easy hike, culture at the Salle « Le Fliers », brewing, and an outdoor laser game. The options span nature and scenery, stage performances and beer production, as well as an active game. Which aspects of the town you focus on depends on whether you would rather hike, experience culture or plan a specific activity.
The Petit Marais and Bas-Champs loop
The Petit Marais loop is 7.5 km long and is an easy hiking route. Its average duration is 2 hours 30 minutes, with an elevation gain of 8 m. The starting point is opposite Rang-Du-Fliers railway station. From there, the route follows a former railway line that connected Montreuil-sur-Mer and Berck-Plage in the last century. The scenery and the historic connection between the two towns are therefore both part of this route. Seasonal conditions may vary; take this into account when planning.
Along the loop, you can explore the wet meadows of the Bas-Champs. They provide a habitat for birds of prey, waders, ducks and other songbirds. For those interested in landscapes and habitats, this is a specific addition to the hike: as well as the route’s length and timeframe, its birdlife is part of its connection with nature.
Culture at the Salle « Le Fliers » and Saint-Eugène
The Salle « Le Fliers » was inaugurated in May 2009, after the former cinema was completely renovated, both inside and out. Its facilities include a stage area for the public, as well as technical lighting and sound equipment. The venue offers a regular and varied cultural program; its attractive pricing policy makes this program more accessible.
Previous programs have included theater, rock concerts, classical music, a revue in the local dialect, live performances, choral singing, gospel and musical theater. Individual events are date-specific. If you would like to plan a cultural outing, check the dates for your visit.
The Saint-Eugène church offers a different historical perspective. It was built from 1862 onward to the plans of architect Émile Lavezzari and named in honor of Empress Eugénie, who had supported the people of Rang-Du-Fliers. The cultural program at the Salle and the church’s architectural history and dedication thus represent different cultural highlights in Rang-Du-Fliers.
Beer production and tasting
Brasserie Grandes Marées produces its beers in its workshop in Rang-Du-Fliers. Its artisanal process follows the standards and traditions that the brewery values. A tour of the brewery workshop explains details of the beer-making process and also includes a beer tasting. Production and tasting are therefore part of the same visit. Check the tour’s availability and visitor information before your trip.
Outdoor laser game
Opale Laser Game offers outdoor laser tag in a woodland setting, on two specially designed playing fields. The area covers just under two hectares. You can play alone, with family or with friends; the scenarios are adapted to different skill levels. The activity is suitable for ages seven and up, lasts two hours and includes three different scenarios. Check the minimum age, duration and details of how it works before your visit.
Two activities can be compared directly when planning your schedule: the Petit Marais loop takes an average of 2 hours 30 minutes, while the laser game takes two hours. The stated playing time is therefore half an hour shorter than the average hiking time.
