Wimereux

Wimereux lies on France’s Opal Coast at the mouth of the Wimereux River, where sandy shores, dunes and chalk headlands meet the English Channel. Just north of Boulogne-sur-Mer, the town faces the maritime route between France and Britain and forms part of the Côte d’Opale’s long coastal corridor. Wimereux grew as a seaside resort in the late 19th century, and Belle Époque villas still give its seafront a distinctive architectural character. The promenade and nearby coastal paths connect the town with the broader shoreline between Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez.
