Tips from the Community
The Église Saint-Omer is a church in Estrée, a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. The church was built in 1869 according to plans by the architect Clovis Normand from Hesdin. This chalk construction is inspired by the medieval style of the 13th century. It consists of a front bell tower surmounted by a spire, an elongated nave and a choir with three sides. The furniture is in keeping with the architecture and was made by local craftsmen such as sculptor Victor Morel from Bernieulles and furniture maker Jean-Baptiste Durant from Recques-sur-Course. The church was listed as a historical monument in 1908.

Inxent is a small commune in the Pas-de-Calais department of France. Inxent is located in the valley of the river Course, about 8 km north of Montreuil-sur-Mer on the D127 road. The village is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Nord Pas-de-Calais and can be discovered during a quiet walk along the water of the valley of the Course. Many English people buy a house in this region as a country residence. The route is popular with English tourists: hence the "keep right" signs

Wavy strip of gravel through field and forest. Nice shortcut.

At the start of the 1900s, Hardelot was still just a huge warren, mainly attracting hunters. In 1905, an English patron, Sir John Whitley, already owner of the Château d'Hardelot and promoter of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, wanted to make Hardelot the new fashionable seaside resort and social center for sports. He buys 400 hectares of land and creates "the company of Hardelot". In 1911, the illustrious aviator Louis Blériot had a villa built on the dyke. He designed and marketed the first French aeroplage, the ancestor of the sand yacht, which would attract a large number of enthusiasts to the resort's beach. The interwar period marked the peak of Hardelot, which rivaled Le Touquet Paris-Plage and attracted personalities from all over Europe. Many villas are built, where the big names in champagne, textiles and French gastronomy reside. But disfigured by the numerous destruction of the 2nd World War, the station must then be rebuilt. It has become a classic seaside resort lining up modern buildings on its seafront. Note that here is judged the arrival of the Lille-Hardelot hiking-cycling race which takes place in May.
