Your accommodation in Nord-pas-de-Calais, hub between Luxembourg, Belgium, Great Britain, the Netherlands and France

Before you decide on an apartment in Nord-pas-de-Calais, you will want to know more about the region. Nord-pas-de-Calais is divided into two départements: Nord and Pas-de-Calais. Nord is an important centre of the textile industry, which in some regions provides more than half of the jobs. This is also a legacy of the Industrial Revolution, which in the 19th century quickly gained a foothold from Great Britain thanks to important ports. Numerous museums, for example in Roubaix, directly on the Belgian border, remind us of this. The département is also a major transport hub between Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Great Britain, the Netherlands, France and Spain. Some of the transport routes can be traced back to the 4th century. The Département Pas-de-Calais lies further to the west, directly on the Strait of Dover. It belongs to the most densely populated areas of France and profited for a long time from rich coal deposits. Calais is also located here with the second largest passenger port in Europe. More than 30 million people use the numerous connections to England every year or board one of the cruise ships that dock here. Via the adjoining Eurotunnel you can quickly cross the English Channel and reach our holiday apartments in England. A few kilometres from Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer is home to France’s largest fishing port and the impressive Nausicaa marine aquarium. The small town is of historical importance especially because of Napoléon I, who planned an invasion of England from here at the beginning of the 19th century. Football fans, however, associate the place first and foremost with a name: Franck Ribéry. Because Boulogne-sur-Mer is the birthplace of the football star.
