A few words about Le Touquet

Many popular designations have been given to Tourquet-Paris-Plage ever since its birth in the 19th century - "playground of kings", "mini Monte Carlo", etc. The station that grew up into a fascinating resort-village, was discovered by an Englishman, who was enchanted by the potential of the place and decided to have his villa here. Tourquet is located at the Channel, in the department of Pas-de-Calais. It has sandy dunes dotted with pine trees to fortify them - a landscape that charmed the first to discover the resort.

Soon after 1850 the wealthy Parisians started constructing villas here. Luxury hotels started immerging, together with restaurants, casinos and top class sport facilities. Transportation was quickly catered for - the resort is easily reached with the RER trains, the public tramway and regular bus services. Amazing investments were made into making Tourquet the pearl on the Channel coastline, that it is today.
