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

The pretty village of Inxent is in the Valley de la Course, located near the historic town of Montreuil-sur-mer. The river Course flows through the village where Licensed Trout and Eel fishing for visitors are available in season. There is an equestrian centre that you can visit for horse riding and pony trap rides.

Within five minutes walk from our front door there is the Auberge d'Inxent. It is very friendly. They serve good food and have an exceptionally good wine list.
Five minutes in the car the opposite way in the village of Beussent you have Le Lignier Restaurant and Bar which serves excellent food and drink
Montreuil-sur-Mer, an old fortified town that centuries ago was a sea port, is our nearest town. You can walk the ramparts and the cobbled streets with a multitude of bars, cafes and good restaurants to choose from. Outside the town are the main supermarkets, all just minutes from the house.

The Montreuil-sur-Mer / Inxent area

One of the great things to do in France is to eat out and in our region you are spoiled for choice. In Montreuil-sur -mer we recommend The Bistroit, Le Patio, The Clos de Capacin.

You may want to splash out on a Michelin starred restaurants such as the Auberge de le Grenouilliere in La Madelaine-sous-Montreuil, Le Chateau or Le Jeraboam, (in the Hermitage Hotel), in Montreuil sur Mer or slightly further afield in Le Touquet, The Westminster or Le 91.
There are many good places to eat and drink in the area ranging from small local cafes to elegant restaurants.
And of course, we have the award winning Wine Society shop, located in Montreuil sur Mer at the Hermitage Hotel.
A must is a visit to the cheese shop, Caseus in the place du General de Gauille, as well as for the chocoholics the artisan chocolatier, Pierru Laurent PATISSERIE-CHOCOLATERIE at 14,rue Pierre Ledent.

Buying food locally

You could visit some of the markets heaped with local produce, they are a pleasure to walk round.

Maybe you like sea food, in which case a short drive to Etaples, (next to Le Touquet), would pay dividends as they have some of the best fish markets in France.
For meat, veg, watercress, (Cresson), fruit, honey and cheese, (miel & fromage), you have only to drive around the small roads along and around the valley to see signs where you can buy direct from the producer.
Golf, theme & amusement parks & steam train

There are excellent golf courses in this part of France. PGA competition standard St Omer is about 45 minutes by car, but other well known golf courses close by are Le Touquet, Hardelot, Wimereux, Fort Mahan, Nampont St.Martin
Catch the Vallée de l'Aa steam train at St Omer to Lumbres and back then spend the day around the old town and canal area. The region's most visited attraction is the marine world Nausicaa at Boulogne, 30 minutes drive. Or alternatively, take the train around The Somme estuary (Baie de Somme) at Le Crotoy and Saint-Valery.
War Graves & historic sites

Our holiday home in Inxent is ideally located for those interested in war graves, historic sites & military history. Agincourt and Crecy are very close. Arras, Vimy, Bethune, the Somme, Albert and many others can be visited easily. At Etaples, a working fishing port across the bridge from Le Touquet, there is a beatifully maintained graveyard and there are still concrete WW2 gun emplacements in the forest.
Boulogne & surrounding area
Many people think of Boulogne simply as a port of entry and somewhere to drive straight through en route south. However, this is a mistake as it is a vibrant interesting area with all sorts of discoveries waiting to be made.
Boulogne is the largest town near Inxent. As well as the port and marina there is a large shopping area running up the hill towards the Haute Ville, the Old Town. This is a maze of small roads and walkways full of restaurants and bars, antique shops and old houses. The Cathedral of Notre Dame dominates the Old Town and looks out over Boulogne. Inside, it has the 2nd largest dome in Europe and is well worth a visit as is the old chateau, (which is now a museum).
Just outside of Boulogne there are the hypermarkets, Citi De L'Europe and the Designer Outlet. There are all types of shops where you can get the latest fashion wear, furniture, bedding etc. At Carrefour & Tesco, in Citi Europe, there is a vast choice of wines/spirits & beers from around the world. There is another huge selection at the Auchan centre in Boulogne St. Martin.
Le Touquet is close by and is a bustling trendy town full of boutiques, bars and restaurants. There is a water park on the sea front for the children and fabulous beaches to wander along plus 2 casinos for anyone who might want to try their luck! Le Touquet is also famous for its golf courses. Go across the bridge & you will find the Etaples seafood restaurants and markets.

To get to Inxent, Vallee de la Course in the Nord Pas de Calais, the only realistic way is by car. Once in France it is very easy to find.
The route is via Dover if crossing by sea or Folkestone if using the Channel Tunnel.

If you use one of the ferry companies, P&O and SeaFrance dock in Calais whilst Norfolk Line lands into Dunkerque.

Dunkerque is the furthest away, approximately 75 - 90 minutes drive, Calais is roughly 45 - 60 minutes and Boulogne about 25 - 30 minutes.

If you use the tunnel you will arrive at Coquilles, about midway between Calais and Boulogne.

Operators are:

SeaFrance

P & O ferries

Norfolk Line

Eurotunnel

If arriving at Dunkerque, Calais or Coquelles simply follow the signs to the A16 and then drive along it, past Citi de L’Europe, in the direction of Boulogne. (From Dunkerque the signs will first say Calais, and then carry straight on to Boulogne).

Total distance from the Tunnel is about 40 miles. Time:- 50 minutes.

“Nice to return to this property in Inxent, on what was our third visit in as many years” Nice to return to this charming cottage on the edge of the village of Inxent, in the beautiful Course Valley. The hosts are very welcoming and provide more than you need, but they do leave you to your own devices but are there if needed. It is a gret area with good walking in a lovely farming valley, but not far from the coast and the busy area of Le Touquest. Close, also, to Montreuil with shops and plenty of restaurants. Always look forward to returning there.

“Everything you could wish for” Our stay in Inxent was really enjoyable. The Course Valley is a briliant base from which to explore. We made friends with local villagers, restauranteurs and shop keepers as a result of the excellent information supplied by the owners Mike and Vanessa. The accommodation is surrounded by a beautiful garden and is extremely quiet as it is set back from the quiet D road which runs the length of the attractive valley. This is not the average holiday gite - it really does have every item you need and is furnished to a very high standard. We came home and booked another week September!

“Beautifully presented accomodation in an interesting corner of France” The house is compact but includes everything, and more, that you will need during your stay. It is spotlessly clean in impressive grounds in a very rural area. There are many good but reasonable restaurants nearby and the shopping areas for those essential supplies are within easy reach. This area is often by-passed by travelers to France but it is full of interesting places to visit and sports areas such as the beaches, well-signed walks and golf and tennis. Michael & Vanessa are attentive hosts who can direct you to the best beaches, golf-courses, shops and markets.

Guestbook for Holiday home near Le Touquet

We enjoyed our stay very much(much better than we expected in fact), not only the very well-appointed and equipped house but the area itself was a wonderful surprise. Of course I was not around then but I've heard it said that, away from the main roads, it is reminiscent of rural England in the thirties and I can well believe it.(a good selling point perhaps!).Thanks once again for a wonderful holiday-we shall certainly put a word in on Trip Advisor. Best Regards Tony and Ann - Durham
Thank you so much for the lovely holiday in Inxent - we had the loveliest time and the cottage certainly played a huge part in this. As we said to you, we have never been in such a well equipped holiday home - which feels so much like a home!! The kids are still playing with the big red ball and I'm sure I heard mention of swing ball coming out. All in all, a great holiday. It was lovely to meet you both, take care of yourselves.
Sue, Richard, Lucy, Andrew and Sophie - Tyne & Wear
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your cottage. We both agreed that it was of an unexpectedly high standard. It was very clean (my top priority) and comfortable with every extra convenience you could ever hope for. Like yourselves, we think the setting is superb, both in the grounds of the cottage and the village of Inxent. We did indeed enjoy the complimentary drinks that you left but chose to replace them as a small thank you. Thank you also for providing us with bread, milk, butter etc which allowed us to relax and not need to visit the supermarket until the Monday.We had a good time in Lille, it definitely offered a contrast to the suburbian lifestyle we had experienced in Inxent. You may well hear from us in the future requesting to make a booking (the boys have asked to return sometime). We definitely envy your lifestyle!Good luck for the rest of the summer Elizabeth & Andrew - Mid Lothian, Scotland
Everyone in Lille knows the Cote de Opale, Montreuil sur Mer and Le Touquet. But the vallee de course and your home is my little secret. It is so good to come back and know it is perfection. You roast beaf know what it is good. For me your house - it is my second home. Jean Pierre et Annie - Lille, France.
What a fantastic holiday had by all - great place to stay with all the bits you forgot to pack like Tea & Coffee, Sugar,Soap, bits and pieces supplied in your starter pack like biscuits, water, soft drinks, wine, games, tourist info etc. Inxent is a lovely pretty village - well worth a visit. Very central to all places of interest. Colin & Bev - Walton on Thames.Surrey
Had a great time once again, this time with the glorious sunshine. Everything we needed was provided, even the wind break, beach chairs and sun umbrella for our days out at the beach. Ralph & Lynn - Hertford
A lovely few days, great house, great attention to detail, peaceful and pretty area, hope to be back in the future. Mac & Carol - Shepperton, Middx
Thank you for a fantastic place to stay - it really does cater for all needs. It is so nice to stay somewhere where the little things are catered for e.g. soap, towels, linen, cleaning stuff, tea, coffee, etc and wine - fantastic. Stuart + Fran - Addlestone. Surrey
In these days when people are so quick to complain we just wanted to say thank you for an enjoyable stay at your holiday home near Le Touquet. We were really impressed - it was so clean and we loved the extra touches like soap, salt and pepper etc etc, not to mention the welcome pack and complimentary wine and soft drinks. It really made our holiday hassle free. Sue and Will - Fleet.Hants
We loved our stay and enjoyed meeting you both. Look forward to seeing you again, best wishes, Anthony and Katie - Chelsea, London SW6
We did enjoy our break and meeting you both - keep warm! Katie - Snowy Christmas 2009
I'd just like to say thank you once more for having us and for everything you did to make us all feel welcome and at home. Also, for your offer of help should we decide to pursue our idea of buying a place in France - it's all looking pretty positive at the moment, but we shall see - there's lots to think about. Thanks again.Robert and Sally - Guildford, Surrey
Many thanks for forwarding what we left behind and thank you both for a wonderful week at your home, it was delightful... and not one thing unthought-of-of. Please take off the postage and packaging from my deposit.Kindest regards, Vicki - Rayleigh Essex
A very pleasant stay. Hosts very welcoming and accommodation very well equipped and organised. Thank you for your generous hospitality and your helpfulness in making our visit Graham, Anna, Victor and Gina – Herts
