Spring Bank Holiday in France: Le Touquet Is Closer Than You Think
From 25 to 31 May 2026
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is the perfect French escape for the Spring Bank Holiday, 25–31 May 2026. Less than 90 minutes from London via the Channel Tunnel, the resort offers sand yachting, golf, tennis, cycling and seaside dining. Hippotel puts you right in the heart of the action.
Your Spring Bank Holiday, just across the Channel
If you're weighing up where to spend the Spring Bank Holiday (25–31 May 2026), Le Touquet-Paris-Plage makes a genuinely compelling case. Less than 90 minutes from London via the Channel Tunnel, this elegant French resort packs a full week's worth of activities into a remarkably compact stretch of coastline — wide sandy beach, forest trails, world-class golf courses, and a lively restaurant scene to rival any city break.
A week's worth of things to do
Sand yachting on the vast tidal flats is the kind of experience you simply cannot replicate anywhere in the UK — the sensation of skimming across wet sand at speed, with the sea air in your face, is immediately addictive. The resort's clay tennis courts are among the finest on the northern French coast, while the golf courses wind through ancient pine forests in conditions that late May makes near-perfect.
Prefer something slower? Hire bikes and follow the forest paths at your own pace, or walk the dunes as the light shifts at dusk. Come evening, the town's restaurants serve fresh seafood and regional dishes that turn a meal into a proper occasion.
