Holidays in Douriez

Over scrolling through other people's holiday snaps while munching on your brekkie? Then book a trip to Douriez and spend your days among the stunning rural landscapes of Picardy.

It's situated 170 kilometres to the north of France's capital, Paris.

Spend a couple of hours looking out at the horizon at Dover Beach or Calais Beach.

Break out on a trip to some nearby natural beauty spots. 25 kilometres out of Douriez, Parc Ornithologique du Marquenterre is waiting to be explored. The Funiculaire du Treport, 45 kilometres away, is another brilliant place to immerse yourself in nature.

For a bit of exercise and the opportunity to take some great holiday photos, find some time to walk around the Les Jardins de Valloires.

Do you like the sound of the Crecy Battlefield and the Nampont St Martin Golf Club? These fantastic attractions are in Dominois, located just 1 kilometre west of Douriez. Or perhaps Valloires Abbey and the Nampont Saint-Martin Golf are more up your alley? To visit them, go to Saulchoy, 3 kilometres northwest.

Buigny-Saint-Maclou, 20 kilometres to the south, is worth a day trip. Use it as a base when swinging by the Abbeville Golf Club, Church of Saint Sepulcre and Emonville Park. If you need more persuading, other nearby attractions include Le Parc de la Bouvaque and Bouvaque Park.

If you're looking for a leisurely pursuit, few things beat getting out and going cycling or bird watching.

Settle in for a fun and educational journey with a knowledgeable guide and a group of like-minded travellers. Guided nature walks, cycling tours and city walking tours are some of your options in this region.

Spend some time inside inspecting the hidden gems of the region's history museums.

If you're a bit of history buff, you'll be captivated by the region's castles, traditional villages, old towns and war relics and monuments. Do a little research beforehand or enlist the services of the closest tour guide.

Want to add some deeper meaning to your escape? Whether you're looking for a spiritual experience or just interested in learning about the local religious traditions, swing by one or two of the surrounding churches, cathedrals and monasteries.

Eating is among life's greatest pleasures, and since you're reading this, you probably think travel is too. Combine your appetite for both by getting out and sampling the local food and drink at various bars, cafés and restaurants across town.

There's always a local plate or two that you need to tick off the list, and when you're in Douriez, flamique a porions (leek tart) is certainly among them. Tart au maroilles (cheese tart) is another well-loved dish that you'll want to keep an eye out for.

Make use of your transit time by memorising a couple of words and expressions in French. To start with, try to pronounce 'Excusez-moi !'. This translates as 'excuse me'. Another one for the memory bank is 'Je viens de ...', meaning 'I am from..'.

Plan to be here around the 14th of July? You're in luck. Every year on this day, the entire nation joins together to celebrate Bastille Day.

When it finally comes time to leave, spend the last of your holiday allowance and say one final "À plus tard" to Douriez.

From Douriez, it's around 160 kilometres south to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). This is the closest airport. Make sure you allow yourself extra time to find your way there so you don't miss check-in.
