You've also got three golf courses within easy reach at Le Touquet (15km), Nampont St-Martin (19km) and Neufchâtel-Hardelot (23km), where you can go kitesurfing, sand yachting, paddleboarding, sailing and horse riding along the beach. Take the kids to Aqualud waterpark in Le Touquet, to Nausicaā National Sea Centre in Boulogne-sur-Mer, around 40 kilometres away, or along one of the many hiking or cycling trails that run close to the site. For a bit of history, explore the ramparts of Montreuil's citadel (5km); 14th-century Carthusian monastery, Chartreuse de Neuville (7km); Étaples port (11km); or the 12th-century Cistercian Valloires Abbey in Argoules (14km). If you're into birdwatching, take a trip to Marquenterre Park (34km), comprising of 200 hectares of dunes, forests and marshes in the Bay of Somme nature reserve and home to over 300 bird species including waders, shorebirds, water birds, perching birds and birds of prey.
