You might like to time your break with one of the many cultural or lifestyle events hosted all around the region, including the Carnaval de Dunkerque (January–April) and Amiens’ Cathédrale en Couleurs sound-and-light show (June–September and December).
Whichever cultural sites you visit, great dining and charming accommodation are never far away, including Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels with spas.
September is a particularly lively month, with the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille classic car show, the Grande Braderie de Lille flea-market and the Journées Européennes du Patrimoine – the latter offering the chance to visit historical monuments that are often closed to the public the rest of the year.
