Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France - the playground of rich Parisians, with many luxury hotels.
Ever since the mid-1990s Le Touquet's villas have become extremely fashionable amongst architecture lovers throughout Europe, rediscovering the 'folie' of seaside architecture of both the Roaring Twenties and the Thirties. The most famous local architect is Louis Quetelart, whose style was named after him Louis Quetelart Style.
Inland from the beach, hotels, casino and horse racing course, expensive villas are spaced out amid acres of woodland, offering every sport imaginable, particularly golf.
