Holiday ideas - Northern france

[East2]

Thinking of taking the ferry over to France, in September for a late dinner getaway. Has anyone got any recommendations on where to stay.i don't know where to start looking to be honest. I have a 2 year old & 3 yr old. So needs to be kids friendly. Thanks

Honfleur? Le Touquet? Don't have hotel recommendations but Booking.com is good source of accommodation and does self catering as well as hotels and b and bs

I don't know how long you're planning on staying, but we really liked Lille, there's quite a bit to do there, and it's a big enough town to have most creature comforts. There's also an amazing kids park north of the centre with a free zoo, and lots of play equipment and (during the summer) a small fair.

Accommodation is not outrageous, there's a market at Wazemmes on Sunday and it's really well linked by tram, train, bus and metro to the surroundings. The centre is very Flemish looking, and the food likewise influenced. There's a ginormous shopping centre (Euralille) next to the Eurostar station with a massive Auchan hypermarket.

Arras is also nice, as well as Dunkerque.

Search on Hotelscombined.com, it searches the search engines !

I'd second Le Touquet for kids.
