With its broad sandy beaches and opulent resorts, Pas-de-Calais beckons visitors searching for relaxing days at the seaside. Dotted with beautifully-preserved historic areas, the region is the perfect place to discover true war-time stories, ride a diesel train or learn more about France's coal mining past. Pas-de-Calais vacation rentals are close to the picturesque Opal Coast, where visitors can indulge in a variety of water sports and beach adventures, from sand yachting and kitesurfing to hiking excursions and galloping along the beach on horseback.
Aside from its beautiful beach, one of the biggest attractions to Le Touquet is its art museum. Musee du Touquet features a mix of contemporary art, modern sculpture, and photographs, including portraits of 20th-century greats such as Rodin, Cocteau, and Pagnol. It's open every day and offers guided tours and kids' events. Of course, most children prefer flumes to fine art, so head to Aqualud, a huge water park on the beach. After a day at the beach, why not put your glad rags on and head to the Casino Barriere du Touquet for a lucky spin on the tables?
In the blistering summer months, life in Le Touquet generally revolves around the beach. Families flock from all over to France to swim in the cool waters of the English Channel, build sandcastles, or kick back with a fancy picnic. Nearby are 3 golf courses to sate the golfing crowd, plus a miniature golf course for little champions. As the sun sets over La Manche, relax with a chilled glass of Sancerre and fruit de mer in a stylish waterfront brasserie. Vacations don't get better than this.
While not quite as balmy as Cannes, Le Touquet enjoys the best weather in the summer months of June to August, with blue skies, endless sunshine and 80-degree temperatures (on a good day). With the sun come the crowds, who flock in their thousands from the capital. For the best choice of Le Touquet vacation rentals, visit in spring or fall, although beware of the odd shower. In winter, the coast becomes rather gloomy. Temperatures drop to 20 degrees, and the rains hit hard, but the coastal location means that snow is rare.
Perched on the northern Normandy coast, a 2-hour drive from Paris, Le Touquet overlooks the English Channel (known in France as La Manche). While the town has some beautiful beach and clifftop walks, for something a little more challenging you'll need to drive an hour to the north to get to the Caps et Marais d'Opale, the Opal Marshes Natural Regional Park. Known as the Opal Coast, it's popular with cyclists and hikers alike. There are dozens of trails here, many with extensive views along the coast.
If you prefer to travel by train, Ham-en-Artois Station, Bruay-la-Buissiere Berguette-Isbergues Station and Lillers Station are the main stations that serve the city.
