Neufchatel-Hardelot

Few places in Hauts-de-France have a history as closely tied to Hardelot Castle as Neufchâtel-Hardelot. This coastal commune stretches between the Forest of Hardelot and the English Channel, with the sandy shore of Hardelot-Plage forming part of the Opal Coast. The castle began as a medieval stronghold and was rebuilt in a Tudor-inspired style in the early 20th century, giving the area an unusual link with Britain across the Channel. Woodland, dunes and broad beaches shape a setting that feels markedly different from the busier ports of northern France.
