Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (Pas-de-Calais, France)
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is an elegant seaside resort on the Opal Coast, appreciated for its large fine sandy beach and its distinctly "vacation" atmosphere. It features a mix of dunes, state forest and a town center animated by shops and cafés. The town's reputation comes from its seaside heritage marked by villas and varied façades, as well as a well-developed sports and leisure offer. It is a destination suitable for families, beach sports enthusiasts and walkers.
Heritage and architecture
Le Touquet was built around a rich real estate park: Anglo-Norman villas, Art Deco façades and bourgeois houses coexist. The urban fabric reveals the seaside history of the place, visible in the shaded avenues and the stately residences. The center retains emblematic facilities like the Casino Barrière, which illustrates the town's tourist activity.
Nature and landscapes
The landscape diversity contrasts between the beach, the vast dunes and the Forêt du Touquet, ideal for hiking and cycling. The coastline offers wide stretches of sand at low tide and viewpoints over the English Channel. Sunsets from the seawall or the beach are particularly photogenic.
Activities and leisure
The resort offers golf, horseback riding, sailing and kitesurfing depending on the season, as well as cycling routes in the forest. Families also frequent the covered market for local products and the seafront shops to eat or stroll.
