Nord-Pas de Calais

The weather of Nord-Pas de Calais is not to be compared with that of the more southern regions. Here it is cooler and windier but ideal for those wishing to escape the southern summer heat.

There is much to be discovered here for the perfect holiday in France. Rustic villages that nestle in a contrasting landscape of meadow, marshland and forest,an area ideal for cycling, walking and horse-riding. The Flanders coast provides the windier environment for sand-yachting and sailing.

Nausicaà , the national sea centre at the fishing port of Boulogne-sur-Mer is the region’s largest visitor attraction. Other trips of interest are the Mining History Centre at Douai and Marbeuge Zoo.

During WWII 338,000 French and British soldiers were dramatically plucked from the beaches around Dunkerque (Dunkirk).The Musée des Beaux Arts has an exhibition depicting the evacuation along with its collection of Old Masters, modern art and sculpture. Today Dunkerque's wide beach and long promenade are filled with family holiday-makers, although many tourists 'pass through' as part of tours to WWII battle sites.
