The Northern France / Nord-Pas-de-Calais region

Pas de Calais
Many who enter this area of France often drive through but rarely explore. Those of us who have spent a little time here have discovered a much slower pace of life, excellent restaurants and many places of interest to visit.
Find out what it is like to drive in 50’s Britain. The roads here are rarely busy and you can find yourself wondering, “Where’s all the traffic gone?”
The area is ideal for cycling, walking, fishing, horse-riding, golfing and photographic holidays; or if you prefer just chilling out with the occasional excursion.
Just 45 minutes from Calais and 20 minutes south of St. Omer, at Thiembronne we can offer you a choice of two modern well-equipped 3-bedroom cottages in a beautiful country setting. Relax and enjoy the countryside and take the odd excursion. For example you might visit the museum at the historical site of Agincourt (or as it is called in France; Azincourt) or visit the underground city that could accommodate about 3,000 people.

“quiet getaway with friends” From arrival to departure we have no complaints about this gite. The hosts were extremely helpful and there if you wanted anything. The gite is equipped with everything and the hosts had left fresh bread, wine and cheese. The lounge area is a little small for 6 adults but the bedrooms are a good size. Xtra facilities are in abundance but did not make full use of them - table tennis, darts, table football, pool to name a few. Would recommend to families although it is a little quiet if you are looking for a bar or nightlife. The bar in the vilage was closed when we got there at 9.30 pm on a Saturday night

“fantastic gite in a lovely area with great hosts” This is our 3rd visit to the gite, we love staying there. The gite is about 40 minutes drive from Calais and easy to get to, on arrival we have always been made welcome by Geoff and Irene and there is also a welcome of bread,wine and cheese. the gite has everything you could need and is always clean and welcoming. There is a patio area outside each gite with a BBQ and a large table and chairs with umbrella which we took advantage of as the weather was fantastic that week. the town of Thiembronne is a short walk away but for shops you can travel to Fauqembergue about 5 mins drive away, there are 2 supermarkets,and an array of other shops, The surrounding area is great, fabulous market at Hesdin and lots to see and do. I cannot recommend these gites highly enough.We definately will be going back again!

“Peace and quiet in the country, yet close enough to sea and shopping” Good price, not too far to travel, friendly reception by helpful owners, games room for the kids (4 teenagers), not to mention the fab dvd collection freely available to us. Basis for travel to various seaside places, a day trip to Canterbury(!), Euro shopping centre at Calais. Surprised by the peace of the country. Would go back.

Guestbook for Turquoise

The Williamses, Suffolk

Wow!! What a fantastic week. The warm welcome on arrival and the beautifully clean and neat cottage made us feel at home right away. The weather has been amazing for the time of year and we have been able to see and do so much. Ypres (or leper if you prefer!) is definitely worth a visit - lovely architecture in the town. Menin Gate and war cemeteries are kept in beautiful conditions as memorial to thousands of soldiers and the chocolate shops definitely need to be visited! We had fun on the rando rail.
The cottage is a perfect base for seeing many places without having to travel too far and our hosts were so kind and helpful if felt more like we had come to visit old friends. Thank you so much and if we ever want to stay in the area again we will certainly be in touch!

Cath & Chris, Surrey
A home from home. Perfectly situated for sightseeing the Pas de Calais. Arras a very nice place, the underground quarry from the war worth a visit. NB The Wellington is wheelchair friendly. Lille a fantastic city with a free zoo near the citadelle. A little closer to home, St Omer, good bars on the main square and a beautiful garden! All in all a fantastic holiday, going home relaxed.

Linda & Rod (Coedpoeth, Wales)
Wonderful weekend - weather perfect. Bruges worth a visit but water expensive. We had the perfect hosts.

The Hookway family, Suffolk
A beautiful gite and well occupied kids, loved the games rooms and swings. We would recommend Nausicaa and Dunkerque if you like a bit of history. Arras also good for the underground city. Our hosts were fantastic and very helpful. Would recommend to everyone.

The Yarker family, Cumbria
Brilliant holiday, fantastic house with great games rooms and othe facilities! friendly hosts. We have had a great week and will definitely be back - will also recommend to family and friends. Thanks to Geoff & Irene. The kids, when we could drag them away from table tennis, loved the rando rail and Hardelot beach! Both worth a visit.
