Gites in Wimereux

Holiday exploring Wimereux and the surrounding area in Pas-de-Calais

On the Côte d'Opale, Wimereux is the oldest of the seaside resorts and surely the most endearing too. Take a stroll along the seafront. Marvel at the colourful "Belle Epoque" villas, still very well maintained.

For sports enthusiasts, there's jogging on the beach, kite-surfing, sand yachting, paddle boarding, longe-côte, yoga… here, sports are practised on the beach, in the sea and in the river on the Wimereux, a small river 22 km long. The beach at Wimereux, a place for reunions, is the playground for the youngest, with sand castles and waffles on the programme!

Along the coast, set off to discover the Slack dunes and the famous Pointe aux Oies. Book a Clévacances gîte and let yourself be surprised by a dazzling panorama: miles of beach, the rocks, the fort of Ambleteuse, the Golf course, the sea Opaline… Located in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Caps et Marais d'Opale, Wimereux enjoys a protected nature reserve, home to exceptional flora and fauna. Blue as far as the eye can see, but that's not all! The valleys, green paths and hedged farmland provide a real sense of tranquillity. A pleasant stroll through the valley along the river Wimereux will lead you to discover manor houses, mills, châteaux, fortified farms, religious buildings… A remarkable heritage. The poetic landscapes continue in the Denacre valley, another jewel of the Boulogne countryside. If you're a keen walker, there's a whole range of trails to choose from. From the GR120, which stretches across the whole of the Côte d'Opale, to the green paths in the valleys, there's plenty to do close to your gîte. Between the sea and the bocage, Wimereux is an invitation to let yourself go, let go and contemplate the surrounding nature.
