Awash with breathtaking scenery, the Côte d’Opale, a protected stretch of coastline with many an unspoilt corner, is unique in its diversity. Long and beautiful soft, sandy beaches draw outdoor enthusiasts from far and wide. Speed sailing, wind surfing, horse riding or quite simply walking along the cliffs atop Cap Blanc Nez and Cap Gris Nez are popular activities, whatever the weather! Our visiting English and Belgian friends are spoilt for choice when it comes to golf. From links courses to forest courses, there is always a new challenge to take on.
Further inland from Calais and Boulogne, the countryside is perfect for languid hikes or bike rides. What better way to discover the rich cultural heritage that still exists today.
The Côte d’Opale is also an important stop on the gastronomy circuit. Numerous restaurants with Michelin stars and ‘toques’ are on hand to cater for even the most demanding of food-lovers.
Many cultural events also make sure that the Côte d’Opale continues to vibrate to the rhythm of fun and cordiality - the Côte d’Opale Music Festival and the Carnival of Dunkirk to name but two.
The region’s universities continue to educate local youngsters whose role will be to preserve this land of exception.
The Terrasses de Coquelles business park is right in the heart of this privileged country where tradition and modernity live side by side in total harmony. No other region can lay claim to such an ‘art de vivre’.
