Saint-Valery-sur-Somme.
Walked to the bike rental and then continued by bike to the Bay of Somme (Baie de Somme). It's located on the northern west coast of France in the Hauts-de-France region. Strictly speaking, the approximately 7,200-hectare area isn't a bay, but rather an estuary—the mouth of the Somme River into the English Channel. Paris is about two hours away.
