A holiday home in Nord-Pas-de-Calais is a great way to see France
A holiday home or holiday rental in Nord-Pas-de-Calais on the Belgian border is a great way to explore the countryside of northern France. Inhabited since prehistoric times, the region's strategic location and natural resources have often been a source of conflict and many of the major battles of the first and second World Wars took place in the area. Rent a holiday house in the seaside towns of Le Touquet or Equihen to explore this historic region and its unique landscape.
A holiday home in the cities of Northern France
Travellers who rent a holiday house or book a holiday apartment in the region can visit Lille, Nord-Pas-de-Calais' largest city.

Lille's 18th century citadel, the Roman Catholic cathedral and the city's three botanical gardens are all well worth a visit. In Tourcoing travellers can see the Church of St Christopher, one of the best examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the region. The historic towns and cities of Nord-Pas-de-Calais have a unique culture that is distinctly French but is strongly influenced by neighbouring Belgium and by English culture from across the Channel.
