leo Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was going to take break either in Wissant or Wimereux, but all hotels in Wimereux seem expensive. Was thinking of Wissant but not sure if there would be enough to do there for 3 days or should I go somewhere like Boulogne?Any suggestions as to hotels or places ?

Fay Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 May I suggest the Baie de Somme, either St-Valery or Le Crotoy, just over a hour down the A16 from the tunnel or a bit less from Boulogne port. Loads of wonderful things to see and do, if you like nature, wildlife (inc seals), history, culture, art, markets, food... etc.In St-Val, check out hotels Guillaume de Normandie, Picardia, Colonne de Bronze or chambres d'hotes at Au Velocipe. I don't know Le Crotoy's hotels from past experience but Les Tourelles looks lovely.Fay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Watch out for the speed traps on the coast. They make all their money in the two months of summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Really? On the A16 or the D940? I've never spotted any on the autoroute and I'm back and forth on it the whole bloomin' time, it seems! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thank you for your replies - this is usually a part of the country which I pass through; will look out for the speed cameras though!I don't really want to go anywhere further than half an hours drive - it looks as if it may be boulogne as I don't want too spend to much, will have to see if there's anywhere nice there.

Frederick Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I stayed in Berck sur Mer some time ago for a few days .....some small not expensive hotels there .. Look at a map and follow the valley of the river Course and the Canche for a tour round and explore of the area .....we enjoyed it some nice places to eat out in that area ...
