Le Touquet (Nord Pas-de-Calais)

This town is a forested, seaside resort with numerous luxury hotels on the north coast of France, and enjoys a reputation as a playground for uber wealthy Parisians.

Due to exacting building codes the city required developers and architects to design creative and unique structures.

Sometimes referred to as "Paris by the sea," Le Touquet harbors opulent homes amidst large tracts of land and its tourism office conducts organized tours of all of the community's exceptional 19th and 20th century architectural wonders.
