The long shore of Ambleteuse (from la Pointe aux Oies to Audresselles) is crowned with the magnificent Fort of Ambleteuse, built by Vauban. The beach is spread at the foot of the sea wall – a mixture of sand, pebble stones and water pounds attracting the swimmers, the sailors, the gatherers of seafood and the surfers waiting for the strong wind.

A few miles away, Wimereux will enchant you with its XIX-century flair, Anglo-Norman architecture and perfect beach holiday atmosphere.

The heart of Côte d’Opale – beautiful Boulogne-sur-Mer on the green hills inspires and seduces from the first sight. Its rich cultural patrimony won it the official title of Ville d’Art et d’Histoire (City of Arts and History). The medieval town is impressive: XII-century watchtower, XIII-century ramparts, intriguing Castle-Museum, magnificent cathedral, medieval crypt, and so much more.

Boulogne is also known as the biggest fishing port of France and offers its visitors rich choice of fish and seafood restaurants.

Another must-see is Nausicaä – National Sea-Center, which promises you a virtual journey through all the seas of the world.
