Le Touquet-Paris-Plage
One of France's most storied seaside resorts, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage sits on the Opal Coast at the mouth of the Canche river in Pas-de-Calais, with a wide beach, a real café and restaurant scene, and a forest planted in the 19th century as part of the resort's original design. Founded in 1882 and recognised as a separate commune in 1912, it reached its peak in the 1920s as the biggest casino in France by revenue drew an elite Anglo-French clientele. Some interwar villas survive, and 21 buildings hold protected monument status.
