Le Touquet Highlights

Playground of rich Parisians

Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France. It is known as the playground of rich Parisians.



Originally an area of wild sand dunes and forest, the resort was created in 1876 by the owner of the Paris newspaper 'Le Figaro' and quickly became known as "Paris by the sea".

In 1903, a British syndicate bought the land, and set out to sell properties to the rich from across the Channel. In the 1920's Noel Coward and the “smart set” from England spent weekends here, and commissioned more outstanding villa designs echoing traditional and ultra-modern domestic styles.

Today the town tourist office offers organised trails to see outstanding examples of 19th and 20th century domestic architecture, which are now preserved and protected. Inland from the beach, the hotels, casino, and expensive villas are spaced out amid acres of woodland, offering every sport imaginable, particularly golf.

Hotels

If you want to stay in one of the most elegant quarters of Le Touquet, just 500m from the beach and 150m from the Palais des Congrès, the sober 1930s luxurious charm of the Westminster Hotel is ideal.

Restaurants

Reserve a table at the delightful L'Auberge de la Dune aux Loups and they will give you a complimentary glass of champagne when you tell them you are flying with Lydd Air:
