Le Touquet is a lovely little coastal town with a strong English tradition established after the first world war when the British gradually began returning to Northern France.

Normandy is a region of enchanting forests, beautiful chateaux and gardens ,atmospheric seaside towns, colourful markets, historic Norman abbeys, fortresses and cathedrals and bloody World War 2 sites such as the D Day Beaches.

In 1453, following the campaigns of Joan of Arc, the English were expelled from France. And with peace came a new sense of national pride and optimism. This lead to an ambitious royal building program.
