A panoramic drive brings you from Dunkirk to Le Touquet-Paris. This chic seaside resort is all about sea breezes and walks on the beach, seawater spa treatments and stylish French cooking. Get acquainted with a drive through town. It may not surprise you to know that a swell of British vacationers breathed life into the resort town's very existence about a hundred years ago.
Enjoy some free time to purchase lunch (at your own expense).
Next on the agenda is a panoramic drive to Montreuil-sur-Mer. Set out with your guide on a walk through the town, which is situated 120 feet above the mouth of the River Canache. Montreuil-sur-Mer is a fortified city enclosed within impressive walls. Ask your guide to tell you about its history, which is larger than life and steals the thunder of the entire Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. Montreuil-sur-Mer is certainly the most beautiful walled town in Northern France. Its churches, chapels, mansions and picturesque streets huddle closely behind its stone ramparts. State, religious and military monuments from the Middle Ages to the modern era tell the fascinating story of Montreuil-sur-Mer.
Return to the ship in Dunkirk after your visit.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
