"The Touquet with its rich-looking villas nestled in the forest, its town center in the Anglo-Norman style, its Saint-Jean street where you can buy luxury goods all year round, prides on being the four season station where one can practice every sport, from horse-riding to golf and sailing, where one can frequent palaces, casinos and a thalassotherapy center, and enjoy an intense cultural life."
