Wimereux

Seafront resort town on the Opal Coast in Pas-de-Calais, Wimereux sits where the river of the same name meets the English Channel, just north of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Classified as a official tourist resort, it falls within the Caps et Marais d'Opale regional nature park and at the southern entrance to the Grand Site des Deux Caps. The town has a pocket-sized central core with cafés and restaurants, two listed historic monuments, and a coastline of chalk cliffs that gives it a strong visual character.
