General presentation
Le Touquet et Montreuil-sur-Mer
Beach resort, dunes, forest, bay of Canche and small town fortified with charm.
The discovery of Le Touquet and Montreuil-sur-Mer revolves around Plage du Touquet, Baie de Canche and Montreuil-sur-Mer. The stay thus alternates between the coast, forests and heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: frequent wind and high prices in high season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Beach
Plage du Touquet
The Touquet Beach is a very legible horizon line: sand, wind, width of view and wave rate. The most beautiful reading is done by walking slowly, varying the angles. Between sunrise and sunset, the contrasts on the coast give particularly frank compositions.
Coast
Baie de Canche
The bay of Canche opens a landscape of sand, dunes, salty meadows and changing water between Staples and Le Touquet. Colours vary rapidly with the tide; it is a place to appreciate for its birds, low lights and this still mobile estuary impression.
City
Montreuil-sur-Mer
Montreuil-sur-Mer offers a stone town that reveals itself by its plan ensnaring corridors of traffic and quieter places. A walk without a race reveals the architectural materials and the rhythm of the facades. The quieter corners on the periphery give a sensitive reading of the city.
