Day 1

Wimereux visit

Continue your stay on the Opal Coast towards Wimereux. Along the way, stop at the dunes of Slack. Scrupulously follow the path provided for this walk, in order to preserve this environment as beautiful as it is fragile. By winding between the dunes whose frail vegetation retains the sand, you quickly understand why this place was cherished by the painters of the 19th century, installed in Wimereux.

Want to continue your trip down memory lane? Stay a bit in this seaside resort and admire the typical architecture of the beautiful holiday homes built at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. On the esplanade that runs along the seaside, discover with emotion the private beach cabanas, white and blue, apartments for local families who gather there to sunbathe and chat.
