WELCOME TO THE OPAL COAST

When you think of the Côte d'Opale, you think of the sea, wide open spaces, seagulls and, quite simply, holidays! But the Opal Coast is much more than that. The Hauts de France coast is just like the region itself, a friendly land where the cuisine warms the heart and encourages conversation. There's nothing like a deep-fried mussel and a good beer to get your holiday off to a great start. Here you can stroll along the beaches, take in the sights from the incredible spots around Cap Blanc Nez and Cap Gris Nez, not forgetting the many events that take place here, such as the kite festival at Berck Sur Mer, the enduropale at Le Touquet Paris-Plage and the fête de la mer at Boulogne sur Mer.

From Bray-Dunes to Berck sur Mer, via Calais, Hardelot and Le Touquet, the Opal Coast is a condensed blend of spectacular natural landscapes: fine sandy beaches, dunes, cliffs, marshes and picturesque villages. Evancy can help you organise your next trip to this magnificent region. 

Where is the Opal Coast?

The Côte d'Opale, in the Hauts de France region, is the coastline of northern France between the Belgian and Picardy coasts. It faces the cliffs of England, which are sometimes visible on a clear day, because yes, the Côte d'Opale is also Calais and its Channel Tunnel. It's the perfect place to take a high-speed train ride to the UK for a day or an overnight stay. You can even take your car with you.

Easily accessible from Northern France, Paris and Belgium, the Côte d'Opale will save you long and tedious journeys. If you're coming from further afield, Lille (LIL) and Beauvais (BVA) airports are not far away.

Weather in Northern France

Coastal cities have an oceanic climate. It means that thermal amplitudes are low, winters are mild and summers rather cool, except during heat waves. Frost & snow days are quite rare so you don't need to bring your pair of skis even in the winter !

There are some prevailing winds from the south & west which bring relatively clean air and push the clouds towards the coast. If you move a little further away from the coast, the weather will certainly change, the climate becomes more continental: there is less wind and it is therefore a little warmer. 

If you you to know more, don't hesitate to look at the Météo France website to get the latest information on the weather in the north of France.
