Serviced Apartments in Le Touquet

Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is a small town with a big history. More commonly referred to just as Le Touquet, this seaside resort in the extreme north of France has long been associated with the Roaring Twenties and has a history of celebrity visitors. Holiday rentals in Le Touquet are still available for those wishing to visit a unique French beachside town, despite the area having lost some of its glamour of the past.

Le Touquet still has a reputation among the French for being a sophisticated and elegant holiday destination for the French upper classes. This reputation comes from the town's history of being visited by such notables as Noel Coward and HG Wells. The resort itself was actually created by the founder of the famous Paris newspaper Le Figaro, Hippolyte de Villemessant, in 1876. Despite not living to see the resort become the success it did, it was his vision that shaped its future. In keeping with the luxurious hotels available here, the holiday apartments in Le Touquet are also of the highest order.

It was an English transformation of the early 1900 which truly established Le Touquet as “Paris by the Sea” as it became known. Investment by English businesspeople led to many beautiful new villas being designed both in traditional style and also the ultramodern styles of the time. The architecture of the town is so famous that guided walks and trails are available to see some of the most wonderful examples of 19th and 20th century architecture anywhere in Europe. Some of these buildings have also been made into Le Touquet serviced apartments; if you book a break in one of these, you will certainly not regret it.

Just inland from the actual beach itself you'll find a most famous casino. It is this casino which was the inspiration for the Royale-les-Eaux Casino in the James Bond book and film, Casino Royale. This should give you a good indication of the glamour of this casino, also harking back to the era of the playboys of the 20s and 30s. Any golf enthusiasts staying in Le Touquet apartment rentals will be pleased to find a number of high-quality golf courses in the vicinity.

Travel to the town is a simple affair from the UK; many people catch the ferry to Calais across the Channel from which their Le Touquet holiday letting is only an hour's drive away. Boulogn-sur-Mer is a nice stopping off points along the way, about halfway to your destination. A train ride from Paris is another alternative.
