Le Touquet

Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, a seaside resort in the Pas-de-Calais on the Opal Coast, has been known since the early twentieth century for its Anglo-Norman architecture and refined atmosphere, shaped by its long-standing popularity with British visitors. The town is set around a broad sandy beach lined with a promenade, ideal for long walks and, depending on conditions, activities such as sand yachting or watersports. The Touquet forest, originally planted to stabilise the dunes, offers several kilometres of paths for walking or cycling. The area's golf courses, including the well-known Touquet course, rank among the most respected in northern France, while the racecourse hosts race meetings for part of the year. The town centre features a covered market, various shops and a number of restaurants specialising in seafood. The marine spa allows visitors to enjoy thalassotherapy treatments throughout the year, and a nearby airport makes access straightforward for international visitors. The mild but often breezy maritime climate makes this a well-established destination for coastal breaks.
