For your stay as a couple, with friends or with your family, cycling will allow you to discover the Calais metropolitan area differently, whether you are a seasoned or occasional cyclist.  

Calais is located at the western edge of Flandre Maritime, an area which is at sea level and so well adapted to cycling, even for those not used to cycling.

There are several possibilities for hiring bicycles:

Le vel’In 

Vel'In is a self-service bike hire system, with 38 stations located throughout the metropolitan area. This network is run by Calais Opale Bus (faire lien avec CMS transports urbains et interurbains), the area's public transport authority.

There is one prerequisite to be able to simply take a bike 24/7: you have to register (by internet, telephone or at a Vivabus office). Since this service is relatively low-cost, it can be advantageous even for short stays.
