With its rich historical and cultural heritage, unique architecture and geographical location at the crossroads of civilizations, the Hauts-de-France region (Nord, Pas de Calais, Somme, Aisne and Oise) is brimming with museums and cultural venues offering tours, discovery trails and other great ideas for relaxing weekends away. A land of undeniable expertise: earthenware, lacemaking, mining culture, craft breweries… the Hauts-de-France region has an authentic identity and a gentle way of life.
Discovering the region while living and working here allows you to visit some of the region’s highlights, such as the Louvre Lens museum, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille, the Chantilly estate and the Château de Pierrefonds… Many of the towns and cities in the Hauts-de-France region are well known for providing a change of scenery for an evening or weekend: Lille, Arras, Amiens, Laon, Tourcoing, Roubaix, Dunkirk, Calais, Compiègne, Cambrai… The city of Lille alone boasts a wide variety of pleasant places to visit: the Citadelle of Lille, the Grand’ Place, Old Lille, the Belfry…
The proximity of Belgium and England means you can even escape abroad in no time, for a good Belgian fricadelle or a pint in an English pub.
And an indispensable asset: the Opal Coast! A place where you can enjoy a breath of fresh air, a picnic on the beach or a dip in the sea.
