The Hauts-de-France region is home to the port city of Calais, which makes it easily accessible by ferry or Le Shuttle from the UK. This means Hauts-de-France is perfectly positioned for a road trip in the comfort of your own car, with some simply stunning countryside and coast to discover as you drive. And like much of the country, Hauts-de-France is a cyclist’s dream. There are picturesque paths to cycle throughout the region, including more than 1,000 miles that form the vast Scandibérique route which links Norway with Spain.
From the city to the sea, a Hauts-de-France holiday has options for everyone. The cities of Lille and Amiens have plenty to tempt the weekend visitor away from the ever-popular arrondissements (neighbourhoods) of Paris, while long sandy beaches offer oodles of space for windswept walks or watersports. The region’s marvellous museums can make for a culture-filled French fling; we recommend La Piscine (an art museum in Roubaix, housed in a former Art Deco swimming pool) and the Louvre-Lens (a gorgeous glass-fronted museum in Lens displaying treasures from the Louvre in Paris). And the culinary scene, with its seasonal specialities and influences from beyond the border, means Hauts-de-France is a hidden gem for foodie travellers too.
