Côte d'Opale (5): Summary

Some of French classics first:

 

2CV

Gallus

Un tracteur à la mer

 
It was a very nice trip, even though the weather and someone's bad behaviour didn't let us see all the things we planned, like Saturday's market on Place Dalton in Boulogne-Sur-Mer, pedal-train (Rando-Rail) and the marshland near Saint-Omer. All locations (those seen, not seen and car parks) are marked on the map.
There are 1:25000 maps available locally, but I would recommend them only for walking/cycling - for car driving 1:150000 maps from Michelin Departments series is perfectly fine (I saw them available at Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone too).

We stayed at l'Ete Indien camping: it offers several types of accomodation, from place for camper only, through camping homes in diferent sizes to indian tents. Car can be parked next to a home, there is a restaurant/bar, swimming pool and playground on site. Camping home, even though tiny, was equipped in all you need to survive: fridge, hob, pans, plates, cutlery, TV, shower, there is free WiFi as well. Just next to, there is a riding school, it is not far to walk to the sea (although on top of the cliff, not to a beach), Wimereux is in short walking distance so one can have dinner with drinks.

Apart from smelly cheeses and sausages, we brought also some liquid trophies: amongst them unfortunately only cidre (this one even 'cidrier', but never cider ;) was of local origin, all the beers are Dutch.
