Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (Pas-de-Calais, France)
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is an elegant seaside resort located on the Opal Coast. Its long sandy beach and wide dunes attract families and fans of board and sliding sports. The town combines a seaside atmosphere with an architectural heritage marked by Belle Époque and Anglo-Norman villas. There are also modern leisure facilities, making it a lively destination year-round.
Heritage and architecture
Le Touquet preserves a dense park of villas with ornate facades, bow windows and pitched roofs, a legacy of the early decades of the 20th century. The seafront reveals public buildings and hotels in an elegant style that contrasts with the wooded residential neighborhoods. The Phare du Touquet (Touquet lighthouse), set near the dunes, is a landmark visible from the coast.
Nature and landscapes
