Seclusion. Wild nature. Calm. Time. It’s all yours.
Northern France’s spectacular coastline is a perfect weekend getaway from busy city life.

Enjoy being by the sea sharing activities including guided walks in the Baie d’Authie, Baie de Somme and Deux-Caps, sand-yachting, tennis and golf in chic Le Touquet, and riding local Henson horses. Worlds Apart The charms of Le Touquet Paris-Plage are well worth discovering. A lovely French town, designed by the British, has great beaches, French dining and spas (not to mention the golf). ‘British Tours’ of sites with UK associations are available, including 1920s villas, and summer ’Nuit Baroques’ celebrating art de vivre in dance, theatre and opera. Inland, Montreuil-sur-Mer with its cobbled streets and ramparts was so-named because the sea once ran up the estuary to this spot.
