Our house at Avesnes
Our house is situated just under an hour from Eurotunnel, and about 35 minutes from Le Touquet. We are down a quiet lane and the house and garden are completely secluded, apart from the cows in the field next to us. We are in between two hamlets, Avesnes and Herly. The village of Hucquelier is within ten minutes drive and has a good supermarket with butchers and boulangerie. There are also an auberge, a bar, and a tourist office in Hucquelier.

Things to do in the region
Further afield, the small fortified town of Montreuil, is about 15 minutes drive away. There are many shops and good restaurants here, and a lovely walk all the way round the ramparts which surround Montreuil. There are really great beaches and water parks both at Le Touquet, and the Picardy coast, plus a theme park for the older kids at Berck, on the coast. For small children, there is a little park called ‘Denny’s’, about twenty minutes away in the countryside towards St Omer. If you are interested in history, there is the V2 museum and bunker near St Omer, the Azincourt museum, and the first world war memorials between the towns of Arras and Amiens, all within an hour from the house. For keen golfers, our house is well within an hours drive from some very good courses, including Le Touquet, Hardelot, Fort Mahon, and St Omer. There are some beautiful walks both on the coast and in-land for those who like to explore the region 'à pied'.
