Le Touquet-Paris-Plage

An elegant seaside resort between nature and style

Le Touquet-Paris-Plage has long been one of northern France’s most iconic seaside resorts. Set between the Channel coast and a vast pine forest, it combines wide sandy beaches, refined architecture and a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere. From the UK, it feels both familiar and different — close, accessible, and distinctly French.

Created at the start of the 20th century as a resort for artists, writers and high society, Le Touquet has retained a strong sense of elegance without losing its easy-going charm. Today, it’s a destination that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy a way of life shaped by nature, sport and culture — ideal for a refined coastal short break.

5 good reasons to discover Le Touquet-Paris-Plage

Le Touquet’s wide sandy beach stretches as far as the eye can see. At low tide, it becomes a playground for long walks, land sailing and simply enjoying the space, light and sea air that define the coast here.

Anglo-Norman villas, Art Deco buildings and elegant seaside hotels give the town a distinctive character. Strolling through residential streets reveals an architectural heritage closely linked to the resort’s golden age.

3. A forest at the heart of the town

Rare for a seaside resort, Le Touquet is surrounded by woodland. The forest offers shaded paths for walking and cycling, creating a natural balance between the energy of the beach and the calm of green spaces.

4. A culture of sport and outdoor living

Golf, horse riding, tennis, sailing and cycling are part of everyday life here. Le Touquet has long embraced an active, outdoor lifestyle, shaped by open spaces and a healthy rhythm.
