As the gateway to England and Belgium, the Nord- Pas
de Calais region is the location of the channel ports of Dunkerque,
Calais and Boulogne. The busy coastline stretches from the Somme
estuary to the Belgium border. White cliffs provide dramatic
scenery along the Cote d'Opale. Flemish culture influences the
architecture and landscape along the Belgium border, while the
poppy-strewn battlefields and memorial cemeteries bear witness
to the past. |
