What Knokke is to the Belgian coast, Le Touquet, also called Paris-Plage (so in full this will be Le Touquet-Paris-Plage – quite a mouthful!), to the French Opal Coast. This seaside resort is also called Paris-Plage precisely because so many Parisiens come to this place on weekends and holidays to lie on the beach. So it is a fashionable seaside resort. By the way, did you know that Le Touqet is also the residence of the current French president Macron?

Are you looking for a seaside resort where you can stroll among authentic villas (in Anglo-Norman style), a casino, a lighthouse and luxury hotels? Where there is a golf course, a tennis club, yes even an airport, etc. . Then YOU will love Le Touquet! Personally, we do not find the beach very attractive: it looks very Belgian, it is to say: full of apartment blocks. On the Opal Coast there are many other more beautiful and quiet beaches than Le Touquet. Anyway, "it's the place to be" for quite a few French people.

Another fact: there is a connection between Ypres and Le Touquet. Not far from the town hall there is an entire park named after Ypres, namely. "le Jardin d'Ypres“. It reminds us that in 1914-1918 many Ypres residents fled to Le Touquet as war refugees. Follow these (in french) dangerous if you want to know more about it. On the Website wo1.be you will also find a few things about it.

Class of yesteryear!
