Like Peacehaven to the north, Villers-sur-Mer has a number of off-meridian venues such as ‘Garage Central du Méridien’ that incorporate the word Meridian into their name. Club du Méridien however is more or less on the Line. But it is nothing more exciting than a supervised children's play area on the beach. Like the beach huts nearby, the equipment and fencing are removed from the beach in the winter months.
