introduction 

Cultural inspiration 

What is the meaning of Culture in the Nord-Pas de Calais? 

Our culture is in our food, our traditions and way of life. We enjoy a happy mixture of French and 

Flemish cuisine which translates into a generous farmhouse-style gastronomy. Our culture also 

stems from our geographical position at the crossroads between Belgium and England and just 

2 hours from Paris. We specialise in commerce and cross-border relationships, something 

reflected in our busy multi-cultural shopping streets and markets. 

But our culture is also our history. Relive the Hundred Years War, immortalised by Shakespeare, 

at the medieval history centre in Azincourt, evoke the spirit of WWI in Arras whose 10th century 

underground galleries were headquarters to 10 000 British soldiers, or be chilled by Hitler’s threat 

in WW2 in the Bunker at Eperleques or the La Coupole museum. Be awed by St-Omer’s ‘Notre 

Dame’ cathedral or the baroque architecture of Béthune. 

Our Culture is art too. The fantastic city of Lille was Cultural Capital of Europe 2004 and 

houses the Fine Arts Museum where you can rub shoulders with Goya, Rubens and Donatello. 

The towns of Douai and Cambrai are packed with art and history, while vibrant Valenciennes is 

the birthplace of artists such as Carpeaux and Watteau. Henri Matisse, one of the 20th century’s 

most influential artists, was born 30 km away in Le Cateau-Cambresis where some of his 

brilliantly coloured paintings and drawings hang in Musée Matisse. 

Coastal activity 

La Côte d’Opale is a breathtaking 120 km long stretch of fine sandy beaches, sparkling waters 

and imposing cliffs that runs all the way from Dunkerque to Berck-sur-Mer. Watersports of 

every kind are well catered for, from surfing and sailing to sand-yachting and speed sailing. 

The region offers plenty of opportunities to hike, horse ride along the beach or take a bicycle 

along one of the many well mapped trails. It’s a golfer’s paradise, where you can choose from no 

less than eight top notch 18-hole golf courses close to stunning hotels. Cap Blanc Nez and Cap 

Gris Nez are protected areas of outstanding natural beauty, where walkers and drivers can enjoy 

breathtaking views across the Channel. On a clear day, you can see England’s cliffs! 

But if your idea of coastal activity is relaxation, an ancient, Sybaritic health regime delivered in a 

modern setting will lull you into a long lasting sense of well-being. Thalassotherapy, seawater and 

seaweed based treatments rich in regenerating Iodine will chase away aches and pains, let you 

slim down or simply unwind !

Family days out 

region of France to Britain, it combines easy access with a complete change of culture and 

language and there is so much to do! Even the journey is fun, starting with a mini-cruise 

across the Channel or the excitement of crossing under the sea in the tunnel. Cross Channel 

operators, attractions, restaurants and accommodation providers do their utmost to make 

children - and even pets! - welcome. No fewer than 10 seaside resorts, with attractions from 

sandcastles to sophisticated aquariums and sea museums, enjoy the ‘Kid’ recommendation 

for their ability to entertain children and relax their parents! 

Rural pursuits 

Let the wind caress your face and the breeze ruffle your hair as you canter on horseback 

through the whispering Mormal forest, part of the Avesnois Regional Nature Park k and a 

nature lover’s dream come true. Or visit the lush secret garden of Les 7 Valleys, so called 

because of the seven rivers that run through the area. 

Ramblers, hikers, riders and cyclists will discover over 1,500 km of signposted trails, from the 

labyrinth canals of La Côte d’Opale. Take a picnic of fresh regional produce and stroll through 

the rolling wooded farmland of Flanders and the quaint villages and hamlets dotted around St 

Pol-sur-Ternoise. 

Events 

The Nord-Pas de Calais enjoys a busy diary of events throughout the year on a wide variety 

of themes so that there is something for everyone. Our carnival giants, fishing, farming and 

harvest traditions and cultural and sporting events are so numerous that we have made a 

special selection for you in this guide.

Historic towns packed with art and history

Explore our history 

The history of the Nord Pas-de-Calais 

region has long been linked to that of 

the rest of Europe, and its strategic 

position has made it much sought 

after as a landing point for invaders. 

Julius Caesar kept his Armada at 

Ambleteuse before the conquest 

of England. Napoleon set up camp 

between Blériot and Boulogne with a 

view to invading ‘Perfidious Albion’ and 

Calais was in the hands of the English 

for 100 years. The battle of Azincourt 

took place here as well as the Field 

of the Cloth of Gold, and Charles V of 

Spain invaded Arras and Hesdin. 

The region also has strong Flemish 

roots, with the Flanders area only 

transferring to French rule from the 

late 17th century under the Sun King, 

Louis XIV. During World Wars I and 

II, the Nord Pas-de-Calais region saw 

much fighting, and it was from here 

that the French Resistance published 

‘La Voix du Nord’ (the Voice of the 

North), a regional newspaper. 

Share our culture 

Could it be that the nature of the 

people has been forged by centuries 

of invasions, both armed and friendly? 

Indeed it could, people in the Nord-Pas 

de Calais are renowned throughout 

France for their welcoming, funloving 

nature. Our traditions support 

this, from the larger than life carnival 

giants who parade the streets on high 

days and holidays to our generous 

farmhouse style cuisine. 


Local architecture reflects a mixture 

of styles – from Anglo-Norman in 

the coastal resorts to Art Deco and 

Flemish-style buildings in the cities. 

An extensive choice of museums, 

visitor centres and guided tours will 

help the visitor to uncover the region’s 

cultural secrets, from the works of 

famous local artists such as Matisse, 

Watteau and Carpeaux to pretty 

18th century towns packed with art 

and history. 

Muse Matisse 

In spring the streets in villages and 

towns alike come alive as locals 

empty their roof-spaces onto makeshift 

stalls. ‘Braderies’ or flea markets 

are a regional speciality that go on 

until the Autumn when theatres, 

museums and harvest festivals 

take over, offering a vibrant array of 

exhibitions, concerts, parades and 

theatrical prouesse!

The Queen of Citadels 

The building, the work of the architect 

Sébastien Leprestre, Marquis of 

Vauban, was carried out on the orders 

of Louis 14th, who had just conquered 

the town, and was completed in 1670. 

Originally a small town around 2,000 

metres wide and surrounded by five 

bastions in the form of a star, the 

‘Queen of Citadels’ is situated in the 

heart of Flanders and formed part of a 

line of strongholds between Gravelines, 

Dunkirk and Maubeuge/Rocroi – the 

famous ‘Pré Carré’ of 28 fortified towns 

built by the architect Vauban. Today, the 

citadel houses an army barracks, which 

is open to visitors during the day. 

Vieille Bourse 

This is indisputably the town's finest 

building, constructed between 1652 

and 1653 in Flemish baroque style. 

The cloister of 24 identical houses 

is occupied by bookstalls and chess 

players and an endless variety of 

cariatids decorated with scrolls, garlands 

and fruit in the Flemish Renaissance 

style. The Lions of Flanders sculpted 

over the doorways recall Lille’s days as 

an outpost of the Netherlands.

The medieval cathedral was built after

into port one day between the years 

633 and 636. The crypt is still visible 

today. Abbé Benoît Haffreingue 

(1785-1871) wanted to restore the 

cult of Notre Dame and order the 

construction of a new church, which 

began with the rotunda in 1827. 

In 1852, he decided to add a cupola

Colonne de la Grande 

Armée - Wimille 

When Napoleon decided to invade

Napoleon awarded a soldier the first 

ever Legion of Honour while at camp 

at Wimille, between Boulogne and 

Wimereux. After the ceremony, his 

soldiers erected a 50m monument to 

him. Inside the column, 263 steps lead 

to a statue of the great dictator and 

a magnificent view of the Boulogne 

region, including Cap Blanc Nez, the

The statue of the Six Burghers, Calais 

Calais 

France’s premier passenger port, Calais 

is the nearest French town to England 

and has been at the heart of centuries 

of conflicts, including the Hundred 

Years War and the famous encounter 

of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. It was 

also Emma Lady Hamilton’s asylum 

lace-making looms were smuggled 

here from Nottingham, an industry for 

which Calais is still famous today. 


The statue of the Six Burghers 

(unveiled 3 June 1895) 

Following his victory at Crécy in 1346, 

Edward III of England laid siege to 

Calais and set up a bridgehead in front 

of the town. By August 1347, famine 

had weakened the inhabitants and they 

surrendered. Rodin’s statue depicts the 

six ‘bourgeois’ who gave themselves 

up to save their fellow citizens. Queen 

Philippa de Hainaut, Edward’s French 

wife, promised them a reprieve but 

they were evicted from the town, 

which remained British until 1558 

when it was recaptured 

by François de Guise.

Douai 

The first settlement in Douai dates back to 

the 7th century and the town was granted 

a charter by the Count of Flanders in 1188. 

It is famous for the cloth trade, which 

developed along the river Scarpe from 

the 12th century. Belonging successively 

to Flanders, Burgundy and the Spanish 

Netherlands, Douai was annexed to France 

by Louis XIV in 1667. When the cloth 

industry started to decline in the 1560s, 

the town magistrates asked for a university 

to be built. The town still acts as Court of 

Appeal for the region and has the highest 

number of lawyers of any city in Northern 

France. It was damaged during both World 

Wars but still boasts impressive 18th 

century architecture. Today, Douai is most 

famous for its giants, the Gayant family, 

who go on procession round the town on 

the first Sunday following the 5th of July 

every year.

Béthune 

Béthune town square is a stunning 

example of Art Deco architecture, 

although the central belfry leaves no 

doubt that you are in the north of 

France. The massive Town Hall was 

rebuilt in 1920, the stonework on its 

façade depicting the towns events and 

triumphs, such as Croix de Guerre’ 

and ‘Légion d’Honneur’ medals, which 

were awarded to the town and its 

citizens for the courage and strength 

displayed in the Great War. 


The Belfry 

The belfry was a gift awarded to the 

people of Béthune for their loyalty 

to the Crown. It was originally built 

of wood in 1346 when it housed the 

town’s bells and a prison cell. The 

belfry burned down twice in 1346 

and 1664 but was rebuilt both times. 

It was destroyed by bombing in 

1918 leaving only the 16th century 

Garden, St-Omer 

part intact. Today Béthune’s 

centrepiece, and its bells still ring 

out every hour on the hour.

Sumptuous seafood...mouthwatering specialities

Fresh regional produce 

The old saying ‘you are what you eat’ 

certainly applies to the Nord – Pas de 

Calais region which has developed a 

warm and welcoming, comforting style 

of food, doubtlessly influenced by their 

Flemish, British and Picard neighbours. 

Endive and shallots, ratte du Touquet 

potatoes, fresh or smoked garlic, 

Avesnois apples, cauliflower from the 

Saint-Omer marshes and juicy red 

strawberries from the village of Samer 

are just a few of the products which 

grow in the region’s northern climate. 


Le Brueghel, Bergues 

Take a visit to the Musée de la 

Chicorée in Orchies and discover why 

this region is the number one producer 

in the world of chicory. 

Meats include the Boulonnais lamb 

and Licques turkey as well as 

cooked dishes such as Andouille and 

Andouillette sausages made with 

chitterlings. Coq à la bière, hochepot, 

potjvlesch, Waterzoï or rabbit and 

prune stew are Flemish specialties. 

On the coast, Herring and Kippers are 

the speciality, smoked according to 

tradition and exported all over France. 

Estaminets 

According to Flemish tradition, 

Estaminets are much more than just 

cafés. These were social meeting 

places where people came to meet, 

drink beer and play traditional bar 

games like ‘Frog’ or ‘Hammer’, the 

ancestors of pinball and table football. 

In Cassel, Saint Sylvestre-Cappel, 

and Hondeghem, Boeschepe, 

Godewaersvelde estaminets 

have made a big come back. In a 

typically Flemish decor, all of the old 

ingredients: pots and pans, gadgets, 

ornaments and traditional bar games. 

Traditional music and story telling are 

a part of the party too. Bar meals 

include ‘tartines’ (a kind of open 

sandwich), cheeses and tarts served 

with local beers. You’ll find all of the 

Flemish specialties in the Estaminets, 

listed in the ‘Where to eat’ section 

of this guide on page: 62.

Distinctive chic fashion...interesting flea markets

Dont worry, shop happy! 

Bargain hunting 

Food and … corn pads ? 

On the food front, best buys are of course wines, 

beers, alcohol in general and cheeses but mustard, oils, 

vinegars, fresh olives and many other kitchen essentials 

are equally of good value. It is worth knowing that 

washing powder, shampoo, corn pads and car fuel are 

also cheaper in France although they are perhaps less 

obvious reasons for making the trip! 

From kitchen to table… 

The famous Crystal d’Arc is made in Arques near St 

Omer. Its factory shop is well worth a visit for everything 

from every day to stylishly expensive glass, particularly in 

Autumn when a massive sale reduces some items by up 

to 70%. Arras blue porcelain and Desvres ceramics are 

great traditional gifts. 

Seasonal markets 

Throughout December a profusion of Christmas markets 

appear. Amongst the best are Lille, Arras and Béthune, 

Les Rues-des-Vignes and Gravelines but there are many 

more. 

On Spring to Autumn weekends, flea markets, known 

as Brocantes, line the streets of towns and villages 

throughout the Nord-Pas de Calais They can be a great 

way to buy antiques. Auction rooms are fun too but a 

minimum of French is necessary to strike a good deal. 

Local posters advertise events. And it’s worth checking 

our website too for up-to-date details. 


Fashion boutiques 

The Nord Pas-de-Calais’ geographical 

situation at the crossroads of Europe has 

always guaranteed its reputation 

as a market region with big names in 

the textile industry and major mail order 

companies such as La Redoute. 

Calais, Boulogne and Dunkerque are some of 

the most famous shopping towns. But Lille, 

Arras and many more lively towns also have 

plenty to offer the keen shopper in search of 

that relaxing French town atmosphere 

with specialist shops, markets, flea markets 

cafés and bistros. 

When time is short, you’ll find everything 

under one roof in some of our numerous 

hypermarkets or shopping centres. Factory 

outlet shops A l’Usine and McArthur Glen 

are to be found in Roubaix, near Lille whilst 

Coquelles near Calais offers Marques Avenue 

offers great discounts on top fashion labels.

line the streets and everyone in 

Lille who has something to sell 

puts it on the pavement and 

waits to barter with passers by!

surroundings with their impressive 

buildings housing world-renowned 

boutiques. The Rue de la Monnaie, 

the Rue de la Grande Chaussée, the 

Place du Lion d’Or and the Place aux 

Oignons are a sheer delight for lovers 

of beautiful things. Designers offer one 

off and made-to-measure clothes and 

accessories, a hat-maker here and a 

dressmaker there. 

Beyond the old town, rue de Béthune, 

rue Neuve and rue Sec Arembault 

offer a chain store atmosphere whilst 

rue Gambetta is the street for the 

more popular everyday shops.

Jésuites, with an exhibition of 

70 cribs from around the world. 

Douai 

While in Douai, don’t forget to buy the 

various specialities which can only be 

found in the town. Most of them all 

bear the name Gayant, which is quite 

simply the town’s giant, the famous 

symbol of Douai! For the children there 

are ‘Gayantines’, buttery caramels with 

a vanilla or chicory flavour. ‘Boucliers 

de Gayant’ are meat and broccoli flans 

which you can find at caterers and 

delicatessens (most of them in the 

Rue de Paris). ‘Boulets’ and ‘gaillettes’ 

are chocolates that are either pralineflavoured 

or covered in hazelnut. And 

as for shopping, the people of Douai 

talk about ‘doing a Bellain’, the name 

of the main shopping street. 

The main shopping ares is Place 

d’Armes and the streets around the 

Rue de Bellain, Rue la Madeleine, 

Rue Saint Jacques, Rue de Paris and

Rue de Famars is the place to go if 

you enjoy looking at antiques! 

Markets: 

Wednesday and Saturday mornings in 

Place Verte, behind fine-Arts Museum 

Béthune 

Clothes and interior decoration shops 

are of an excellent quality here but so 

keep and eye out for those regional 

specilialities at Pâtisserie Jacques 

(Boulevard Raymond Poincaré) who’s 

‘Ane de Buridan’ chocolates are named 

after the famous Béthune philosopher 

who wrote about a donkey who’s 

indecision before a choice of food 

caused him to die of hunger! 

At La Prairie, regional cheeses are 

top of the list and Lecherbonnier the 

delicatessen butcher offers entire 

menus of delicious dishes to take 

home ! In Béthune and Lens, you 

are likely to find Polish specialities 

imported by Polish miners (excellent 

Charcuterie Marzec, rue de Verquin).

rue René Lanoy in Lens. Beer is 

very popular in this region, Brasserie 

Castelain at Bénifontaine brews real 

ales that are well worth seeking out. 

Lille christmas Market.

Rue Nationale and the old town mainly 

for gifts and restaurants. Freshly

envy! For Wines to accompany the 

ready made menu you bought to take 

away at ‘Les pêcheurs d’Etaples’ 

fish shop and ‘Bourgeois’butcher/ 

delicatessen (rue de la Lampe) try 

‘Le Chais’, rue des deux Ponts. 

Markets: 

Wednesday and Saturday mornings 

- Place Dalton. 


The main shopping streets in Calais 

are Boulevards Jacquard and Lafayette 

as well as the slightly more up-market 

Rue Royale. This is a shopper’s haven, 

no hills to climb nice long straight 

streets, lots of parking and lots of 

shops. Calais is particularly famous 

for drink hypermarkets but shopping 

in town is great fun. Watch out for 

La Maison du Fromage, rue André 

Gerschell, le Bar à Vins Place d’Armes 

and Royal Dentelle the Calais lace 

shop on Boulevard Jacquard. 

Neighbouring Coquelles is home to 

the stunning Cité de l’Europe shopping

Dunkerque 

Dunkerque's town centre is very 

large and has a wide range of the 

usual boutiques stocking top labels. 

The town is firmly anchored in 

the traditions of its maritime past, 

so be sure not to miss the shops 

selling decorative ship's fittings and 

furnishings and seamen's clothing. 

Above all, don't leave Dunkerque 

without trying the celebrated chocolate 

'Jean Bart's fingers', named after 

the famous corsair who waged war 

on English shipping. In Malo you can 

sample 'gâteau Malouin', invented to 

mark the resort's centenary. 

The ‘pole Marine’ and Centre marine

shops are devoted to leisure activities. 

www.dunkerque-shopping.com

There is also the Minck market, 

open daily and selling fish from 

local fishermen. 

Le Touquet 

Rue St Jean and the streets 

perpendicular to this are the main 

shopping area but Avenue du Verger 

is also of interest. Antiques, interior 

decoration and clothes shops are 

particularly inventive and chic.

with a full basket! Perard’s fish soup, 

rue de Metz is definitely a good buy 

to take home with a little jar of ‘rouille’ 

and some croutons. Watch out for ‘Le 

Chat Bleu’ and ‘Beussent’ chocolate 

shops too. 

The most famous ‘braderie’ in the Le 

Touquet area takes place on the 14th 

of July in Montreuil-sur-Mer. 

St-Omer 

Shops are mainly concentrated around 

the main square, Place Foch, rue 

de Dunkerque, rue des Clouteries 

and Place Victor Hugo. St-Omer is a 

nice compact place to shop with the 

somewhat ‘bourgeois’ atmosphere of 

a prosperous town. 

Favourite specialist shops in St-Omer 

include Le Terroir (rue des Clouteries) 

for regional produce, Cave St-Arnould 

(rue de Calais) for the famous St-Omer 

beer and Caves du Chai for wines. 

Antiques are another local speciality 

at Naninck and Lengaigne, rue 

François Ringot. There are two large 

hypermarkets either side of the 

town too. 

Markets: 

Saturday morning on the main square. 

There is also a Flower market in 

May and flea markets in May and 

September.

Fly-Surfing 

Fly-surfing is the latest thrilling watersport, 

halfway between kite-flying 

and windsurfing and combining the 

attractions of waterskiing and 

aerial acrobatics. 

Already, this new sport is attracting 

large numbers of devotees of 

funboarding, kite-flying and surfing. 

For newcomers to this white-knuckle 

sport, it is necessary to have lessons 

with an instructor organised from the 

local tourist office. 

This gives the opportunity of practising 

first of all on sand before taking to 

the skies. More experienced surfers 

can just hire the board and kite-flying 

equipment.

Treasures to be found 

Tucked away amid the gently rolling 

countryside in the heart of Nord Pasde-Calais 

lie some of the region’s best 

kept secrets: a remarkable diversity of 

gardens and botanical nursuries that 

both amateur and enthusiasts alike. 

There are 20 registered parks and 

gardens in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais 

region. Some belong to chateaux, others 

to private houses. Some are large and 

some are small, but they’ve all been 

created from a labour of love by garden 

enthusiasts who are keen to share their 

treasures with you. 


Great fun 

for all the family 

Every summer a giant corn maze 

‘appears’ at Buire-le-Sec near Hesdin. 

Games and entertainment are based on 

the theme of the maze which changes 

each year. The kids will love it and the 

medieval garden is an inspiration to all 

would-be gardeners.
