Aqualud Water Park
grayfo Says:
The Aqualud is a huge water park on the seafront in Le Touquet and consists of several indoor and outdoor pools, a wave pool and a giant toboggan run. Housed under a glass dome is a giant pool with waves, 'rocky' slides, jacuzzis and a solarium. The outdoor section is open...
Beach & Promenade
sue_stone Says:
Le Touquet is a family seaside resort, and when you take a wander down by the sea front you can certainly see that it caters for kids!For the younger kids there is a fabulous old carousel, and some cute little wooden wheeled horses. For the older ones there are some water...
Wander down the main street
sue_stone Says:
When we arrived in Le Touquet we drove right down the middle of the town on the pretty Rue St Jean. This one lane street is virtually a pedestrian zone, and is street-scaped with plants and paving.Lining Rue St Jean are all the shops you would need on your holiday, along...
Beautifull houses...
belgianchocolate Says:
This is an example of the typical 'le Touquet' style. Many houses in Le Touquet are on the inheritance list. And they should be.This beauty was build by F. Gombeau , a parisian architect. 'Alexandre' was build in 1911 and one of the many wonders of architecture to be admired...
SPLASH....
belgianchocolate Says:
A waterparadise...Just the place you where looking for to go with the kids... A gigantic tropical swimmingpool with lots of exciting and fast attraction. 10 points for being child friendly -an outside playground for -6-an outside playground for -10-and lots of attractions...
Touquet architecture.
breughel Says:
There is a mix of begin 20th c. houses and modern apartment buildings. Nothing really exciting. Between the buildings and the beach extends a huge parking. Quite practical but not nice.Behind the seafront starts the centre of Le Touquet with houses mostly from the first half...

Le Queen Italia: Le Queen Italia
sue_stone Says:
I was deserted in Le Touquet - Alex and his mother had gone off to play golf - and I was hungry. I needed something snacky for lunch. I had a bit of a hankering for a Croque Monsieur or Madame, or something like that.Wandering just off the main street, my eye spotted an...

After a wander along the promenade and then some window shopping on Rue St Jean, we popped in to Ghesquiere.We were tempted into this café/patisserie by the cakes we could see in the display cabinet….y.u.mAfter we took a seat, the friendly owner came over and took our order,...

Driving in France
sue_stone Says:
In June/July 2006 we had a 9 day driving holiday in France. We caught a car ferry from Dover to Calais, drove down through Normandy, popped into Brittany and then caught the ferry back to Dover from Boulogne-sur-Mer.We chose to take our own car over, as the cost of the ferry...
Parking at Touquet's beach.
breughel Says:
Se rendre à la mer et puis se trouver dans l'impossibilité de parquer sa voiture, souvent la seule solution pour arriver à la mer avec enfants et bagages, ne semble pas devoir se produire au Touquet d'après les immenses parkings situés en bordure de la plage.En semaine...

belgianchocolate Says:
How can you be in France without running into a bunch of baltrowing people.Petanque is the national sport. They seem to take it verry serious.In front of 'Le fireman' , (café) rue de Metz 6 , there is a little square with Petanque facilities. The real game is played with...

Pay attention - you need to pay to park your car. We didn't notice the machine and they gave us a ticket for 11 Euro.
They got people working all day during high season to write these tickets...

The seaside , big time screwed up...

-It might just sound like , when you read the tourist information , that Le Touquet is a completely intact 1900 architecture village. Well that's not true. Don't be to disappointed if you see the seaside. The buildings there are even more ugly than those at the Belgian coast.
-Since we all travel in style and are quit distinguished , your fellow-creatures might not be that stylish. People you don't know will mooch in front of you with their new manga-shirt and brown sandals with white socks in.
Unique Suggestions: Try to ignore the faults and the other people.
Fun Alternatives: I'm sorry....

Etaples Military Cemetery
Helpfulness
sue_stone 2318 reviews
Located around 5 kilometres north of Le Touquet, on the road to Boulogne, is the Etaples Military Cemetery.
The cemetery contains over 10,000 burials from the First World War and just a few from the Second World War.
Located right by the roadside, it is a sobering site when you come across it.
You can pull over here to have a closer look. We just looked over the fence, but you can go into the cemetery if you wish.

Golf in Le Touquet
sue_stone Says:
I think the main reason that my husband wanted to pay a visit to Le Touquet was to check out the golf course!Le Touquet’s main golf course is apparently one of the best in France and is high on hubby’s list of places to play.We stopped by to have a sticky beak….didn’t look...
Jump arround...
belgianchocolate Says:
At the north end of the town there is an area where they made some ramps. Kids like to hang arround with their skateboard and in line skates.
Guess ?
