Nord

You can't get bored in this region of history, culture and...beer! The department of Nord is made up of as many lively towns as it is small natural paradises where you can recharge your batteries, do some sport and get together with family or friends.

Staying in Nord: sea, city or countryside?

Once you have settled into your holiday rental in Nord, there are many activities available. Why not plan a getaway in Lille, stroll through the streets, visit the Palais des Beaux Arts and end the day with a delicious carbonade flamande stew, a fish waterzooï stew or a Welsh rarebit (traditional in this region too!)? 

To discover the sea, try a holiday rentals in Cayeux-sur-Mer! Art lovers should head to La Piscine Museum in Roubaix to see works and temporary exhibitions in an unusual setting. A museum in a pool? Why didn't we think of that?! What else makes it so great? The café serves delicious vanilla waffles: another lovely local speciality.

Fancy a day in the wild? Try a holiday rentals in Lake Valjoly! Visit the site of the Dunkirk landings. Your weapons: sunscreen, a cap and a towel. Your mission: devour a dish of mussels and chips on a terrace. To recharge your batteries, you could also go for a mountain bike ride in the Avesnois Regional Nature Park or canoe on Lac du Val-Joly.
