Snapshots Bordeaux As you'd expect, Bordeaux is overflowing with top - quality wine and fantastic regional and gourmet food, but it offers much more.

Pas - de - Calais The dramatic white cliffs of the Cte d'Opale mirror Dover's, discernible across the Channel, but unlike their Kentish rivals, these are backed by sweeping dunes and fringed with golden sandy beaches. Further south, old - school resorts such as Le Touquet, St Valry and Le Crotoy make great bases for touring the coast, and dipping inland to a region of thick forests, rolling farmland and famous sights, from Agincourt to Crcy.
