BEAUTIFUL LE TOUQUET

Le Touquet is favorably located on the seacoast just across the English Channel from England, relatively close to both Paris and London.  Hence, it is a favorite site for many vacationers from the United Kingdom and continental Europe.  The city has developed its appeal as a “Resort for all Seasons,” with attractions to appeal to visitors of all ages.  The tennis complex ranks as the fourth largest in France.  In addition to activities related to the beach, such as wind surfing and sailing, there are equestrian events, golf courses, antique car shows, numerous festivals, and a variety of other attractions.  For the summer of 2007, the city developed an outdoor exhibit on the “Magic of Egypt”, featuring sand sculptures reminiscent of the pyramids and structures of ancient Egypt.
