Holidays in Nord-Pas-de-Calais 

 A holiday in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais invites you to discover the wonders of a historical, dynamic and welcoming region. Embracing the northern coast of France, between the cities of Calais and Berck-sur-Mer, the Opale Coast is a little corner of paradise where you can escape between stretches of sand and breathtaking white chalk cliffs, known as Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez. Partly protected by the Regional Nature Park of Caps et Marais d'Opale, the region is home to elegant seaside towns such as Le Touquet, Harledot, Ambleteuse and Wissant, ideal for relaxing with your family and loved ones. Your stay in our luxury hotels in Nord-Pas-de-Calais inevitably includes a visit to Lille. Stroll through the charming streets of the old town, around its Grand-Place, visit the Palais des Beaux-Arts and marvel at the Vieille Bourse. Arras, the historic capital of the Artois province, also houses architectural masterpieces such as its imposing cathedral and its arcaded squares. In Boulogne-sur-Mer, take a walk through the fortified quarters of the city before stopping at the National Sea Centre, Nausicaá, whose large aquarium is home to penguins, caimans, sea lions and various species of sharks. A trip to Nord-Pas-de-Calais is also an opportunity to go back in time. From Douai to Béthune, via Calais, Hesdin and Dunkirk, don't miss the region's belfries, some of which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 

 Luxury hotels in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, a clever mix of old and new  

 Located in a private mansion in the heart of the Old Lille, a former 18th century ferryman's house or a castle where the writers Rousseau, Voltaire, Dumas and Cocteau, were once regulars, our luxury hotels in Nord-Pas-de-Calais are places steeped in history and refinement. In our charming addresses where our hosts perpetuate the regional traditions of hospitality, take pleasure in strolling through French gardens, walking along a canal lined with 200-year-old trees or reading peacefully in a library nestled in an alcove. The interiors of our 5-star hotels in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais display an eclectic mix of old-world architecture and contemporary design, which can be found in the rooms and suites, which are often generous in size. The timeless elegance of the noble materials blends in harmony with the decoration, sometimes modern, sometimes classic, and sometimes rustic, to offer a warm cozy atmosphere. In our luxury hotels, your well-being is at heart for the Relais & Châteaux concierges who work to make your stay in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais a true moment to remember. 

 Fine dining restaurants in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the best of the land and sea 

 Generous and tasty, regional gastronomy gives pride of place to local produce, whether from the sea or the land. Sole, turbot and herring from the North Sea; shellfish, mussels and scallops from Le Crotoy; veal from Artois; poultry from Licques and pork from the Lys plain, are combined with endives, beetroot, asparagus and other vegetables grown by our producers. The latter supply most of our restaurants and luxury hotels in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, where our chefs apply their culinary skills and revisit traditional gourmet recipes. Some of our 5-star hotels have their own kitchen garden where various aromatic herbs are grown to enhance the seasonal produce. Comfortably seated in an elegant dining room with refined woodwork, a terrace opening onto a park or under a veranda with exposed beams and a green roof, let yourself be tempted by lobster gnocchi with artichokes; delicately roasted wild cod before finishing in style with a trolley of delicious regional cheeses.
