A weekend in Picardy
Picardy is the northern coast of France. Very accessible from the UK, by ferry boat, train or car, the region is the perfect escape for a few days to discover the wonders of Le Touquet, a very popular destination among French people.
What to do in Le Touquet
Founded in the 19th century, Le Touquet is a well-preserved town with many activities to choose from for a last minute break in Le Touquet. The town is ideal for families looking for a weekend full of action. The beach is long, clean and made of fine white sand. The weather can be a bit cold but it still offers many activities such as horse riding on the beach, kitesurfing, sand yachting, stand up paddle or even sailing. The town is also famous for its 3 golf courses and horse racing tracks.
A weekend in Le Touquet is also a great opportunity to discover the town. Take a stroll in rue Saint Jean, a beautiful street filled with market stalls and admire the traditional northern architecture of the buildings. Short breaks to Le Touquet are also great for children to climb to the tip of Le Touquet lighthouse. With its 274 stairs, it is quite the climb but the panoramic view is worth it. If you want to come back home with fresh French products, visit the Marché Couvert (covered market) located rue Jean Monnet.
