On the misty background: the metallic “Phare de Walde” (1859), an abandoned lighthouse, ‘lost’ on the beach between Gravelines and Calais. The lantern was destroyed by an explosion in 1953. The Phare de Walde materializes the boundary between the North Sea and the (English) Channel. #OpalCoast  #BeachTips  #LocalSecrets  #History

This hotel may have once been a popular choice of VIPs when the Channel Tunnel was being built, but that was 30+ years ago, which may be the last time it was decorated, the beds and carpets were renewed and the plumbing was serviced. Any of a certain vintage (and perhaps UK visitors only) will remember ...

Really handy for the channel tunnel, great value and perfect for one nights stop over. We had a family room which had 2 single beds for the kids rather than a sofa bed which is a rare and welcome find. We arrived about 9pm and the reception and bar were both manned. There was a pool table and TV ...
