Parc de la Baleine

Situated on Rue de la Mer, take a stroll through this exceptional park, home to a variety of tree species, birds and plenty of children’s play equipment.

Magnificent peacocks roam freely here.

– Ideal for family walks, you can also discover the symbol of the Lutins: the whale skeleton.

– The town, in partnership with the Vikazim club, offers two fun orienteering trails in the municipal park:

Trail for 5–7-year-olds: A tailored treasure hunt with a map and photo clues.
Trail for 8–10-year-olds: A life-size observation game with a map.

The concept: Children must locate markers to collect letters and piece together a mystery word. Once the puzzle is solved, head to the Maison de la Baleine to discover the secrets of the famous cetacean.

Will be closed for renovation in 2027. Scheduled to reopen in 2028 with a new museum space. The Tourist Office will be temporarily relocated to the Salle du Parc, near the municipal police station.

Here you’ll find an area dedicated to legends and anecdotes about whales, a display on whaling and whale conservation, a scientific section featuring the anatomical and physiological data of these mammals, a screening of a film recounting the story of Luc’s whale, a retrospective on the stranding of the ‘lutine’ whale featuring period documents, as well as a souvenir shop brimming with postcards, books…
