The Nord
pas de Calais Region of France in somewhere that most visitors to
France just pass through from one of the busy channel ports to their
destination, but this area has a lot to offer. It is a region of
landscape contrasts from the long coast line where the 120kms of sandy
beaches of the Cote d'Opale have many pretty villages as well as
the three major ports of Dunkerque, boulogne and Calais. There are also
the enormous cliffs at "le Grand Site National des Caps" with their two
huge cliffs overhanging the Channel, to the rolling hills dotted with
windmills, wide open spaces with gentle meadows, marshes, woods and
forests. There is a vast network of canals and waterways ideal for all
types of boating.
The Region is bordered by Belgium, the English Channel with the Picardy Region to the west and south.
