Le Portel, the hilltop town with a thousand faces

Le Portel, the hilltop town with a thousand faces

by Benoît Diéval | Mar 27, 2023 | Family friendly, Nature and leisure, On the Opal Coast

Cherishing its past, while enjoying its wide range of advantages to the full.   This could be the motto of Le Portel, a former fishing port turned seaside resort, in an exceptional natural environment. Today, the town surfs on all its assets at once,...

Hardelot-Plage; elegance and nature for all the family

by Benoît Diéval | Mar 27, 2023 | Family friendly, Nature and leisure, On the Opal Coast

Alongside Le Touquet, this is THE chic resort of the Côte d’Opale.  It’s no surprise, since both were founded at the start of the 20th Century by John Whitley, an influential subject of Her Gracious Majesty. Although it retains a slightly British elegance, Hardelot is...

Some tourist guides do not devote a single line to it. This shows that Équihen-Plage is a very low-key resort, even a little wild…After all, they do call it « the wild daughter of the sea »! Authentic, simple and loved by families, Équihen is not a fan of chichi. The...
Audinghen; don’t be satisfied with simply admiring Cap Gris-Nez ! 

Audinghen; don’t be satisfied with simply admiring Cap Gris-Nez ! 

by Benoît Diéval | Mar 10, 2023 | Family friendly, Nature and leisure, On the Opal Coast

How discreet this little commune of Audinghen is, in the shadow of the emblematic Cap Gris-Nez that it harbours on its lands! Yet it has a lot to offer! Its three beaches and its seven coves cut into the cliffs, the bunker of the TODT battery transformed into a museum...
