LE TOUQUET, FRANCE
By: Roshni, 11, United Kingdom (AKA x_star_girl_x)

 


When People say they're going to France, it's almost always to go to Paris. But Le Touquet is a great little tourist town near a place called Boulogne. You can get there from UK on a ferry, from Dover to Calais, or just fly straight to Calais from America. I went there with school and had a blast!

Probably the main attraction at Le Touquet is the awesome water park, Aqualud (Aqualand). There are tons of cool slides to go on, including the scary Black Hole - a personal fave of mine! Or if that's not your thing, the jacuzzis are heaven.

You wouldn't expect it, but beaches there have the whitest sands you'll see that far North. It was always hot and sunny, so the water's great for a splash in. There is also a skate park on the beach, not to mention a jungle gym.

We saw 2 factories, one for candy and one for chocolate. You get to see how they make boiled sweets, plus try a few samples. The chocolate may be expensive, but it sure beats Hershey's! You can see how a cocoa bean turns into the smooth chocolate, with all the machines involved.

The market is very authentic in Le Touquet. If you're into antiques, it's definitely the place to go. There are some really cool crafts and candles. You can even buy fish, if you really want to! We went on a quaint little train, called 'Le Petit Train' which gave us a tour first. One thing you need to watch out for is pick pockets - but I wouldn't get hung up about it.

Entertainment rocks around there. You can go Bowling in Boulogne, or learn how to properly flip a crepe. There is a sea life centre, where you can see all sorts like penguins right down to sea lions. There is also shopping in ginormous supermarkets.

And last, but definitely not least, there is a French food. Don't worry, we didn't have to eat frogs legs or snails! Eww! No, we ate bread, cheese, pate and assorted french cakes. Once we dropped the different cuisine and had hamburgers! But, we had them with FRENCH fries.

So, if you wanna have fun with your friends or family, you should definitely check out Le Touquet, France. Try looking up PGL tours if you wanna see the same things
