Few cities in Hauts-de-France have a history as closely tied to the planned development of a seaside resort as Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. Set on the Opal Coast beside the English Channel, the town stretches between a broad sandy shore and the wooded dunes south of the Canche estuary. Its identity was shaped around leisure from the outset, with early-20th-century villas, hotels and sporting facilities forming much of its urban fabric. Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is also associated with the annual Enduropale du Touquet, an off-road motorcycle race staged on its beach.
