Cycling through Pas de Calais

Nord/Pas de Calais is the first stop for the majority of UK holidaymakers. By ferry and tunnel, visitors stream into the region for everything from a quick whip round the hypermarkets to a few nights in an exclusive château.

Duty free shopping may have become a distant memory but as every Francophile knows, prices across the Channel have not gone up and the savings are still there.

From cosmopolitan Lille to pretentious Le Touquet and secluded Wimereux to bustling Boulogne the region caters for all.
