CHOOSE YOUR PACE

The region is best experienced
outdoors.

On foot, by bike, on horseback or simply facing the sea: here, each day can take on a different rhythm.

01

Beaches & wide-open spaces

Fine sand from Marquenterre to Équihen and as far as Sangatte; pebbles at Cayeux and Mers-les-Bains; coves and rocks around Audresselles, Ambleteuse and Cap Gris-Nez.

02

Hiking & cycling

Possible departures from the gîte, GR121 just behind the villa, Course Valley, EuroVelo 4 Vélomaritime and Véloroute 362 along the Canche.

03

Wildlife & birds

With binoculars in hand, observe the birds in the bays of the Canche, Authie and Somme, or at Marquenterre Park. Seals can be spotted from a distance, respecting their tranquillity.

04

Heritage & culture

Montreuil Citadel, Neuville Charterhouse, Hardelot Castle, the Touquet museum, memories of Agincourt, belfries and maritime traditions tell the story of the area.

WITH THE CHILDREN

Adventures for
young and old.

THE ART OF SLOWING DOWN

Take the time,
quite simply.

A bench facing the sea, the scent of sea spray, seals watched in the distance, an immersion in nature in the countryside or a thalassotherapy break: the Opal Coast can also be enjoyed without a programme.

«Here, letting go is part of the journey.»
