Wimereux, Cap Gris Nez & Wissant – it sounds like we’ve travelled miles today, doesn’t it? In reality it’s a series of short hops along the Opal Coast, a mere 24 km in total.

2026 Days 75 & 76 – Boulogne sur Mer
Boulogne sur Mer beckons with the promise of a beautiful cathedral, a fortified Haute Ville and, very excitingly, Europe’s largest aquarium.
2026 Days 73 & 74 – Merlimont & Le Touquet
A short hop down the coast, Le Touquet is buzzing under blue skies. A northern coast holiday hotspot, a mere 260 km north of Paris, Le Touquet is bursting with boutiques, jewellery shops, restaurants, gorgeous Belle Epoque houses and a surprising number of private casinos.
2026 Day 72 – Berck
Conscious of my disappointment on missing out on a seal adventure, Himself has outdone himself – he’s found a whole colony.
2026 Days 66 & 67 – Dieppe
Ah the lovely Dieppe. We only discovered it in 2024 and we’re back! Himself dubbed it ‘Honfleur on speed’ the first time around. He had a point – in between the series of harbours, yachts and endless restaurants it’s similar but oh so much larger.
2026 Days 64 & 65 – Veulettes sur Mer & Saint Valery en Caux
No matter how many times you visit a place there’s always something new to discover. How we’ve managed to miss France’s Côte d’Albâtre for over a decade is a complete mystery.
2026 Day 63 – Fecamp & Palais Bénédictine
We’re exploring legend in the world of fine spirits today. What can I say – it’s a sacrifice but someone’s got to do it. 😂 I’m just thrilled to be in Fecamp at all, our 2024 attempt having failed spectacularly thanks to road works and bad tempers.
2026 Days 55 to 60 – Honfleur
We’re on approach to a French favourite, the lovely Honfleur. Close to Le Havre’s ferry it’s been an oft visited a spot over the years – our 6th, my buddy Google tells me.
2026 – Day 53 & 54 Utah and Omaha Beaches
We continue pottering along Normandy’s northern coast, enroute to the WWII D-day landing beaches.
2026 Days 51 & 52 – Barfleur and other meanderings
We’ve spent a good deal of the past 13 years wandering where the road takes us without any version of a plan beyond starting and end points.
