Just across the Channel, Le Verger is a lovingly restored old house, wonderfully Gallic in atmosphere yet incredibly easy to get to. It is located in the Seven Valleys region of the Nord Pas de Calais, an hour from the ferry port and 40 minutes inland from the chic shops of Le Touquet.

Agincourt

The historic site of the Battle of Agincourt (Azincourt) is only six kilometres from Le Verger. It boasts a new state-of-the-art interactive museum, which really is fun! And in Fressin, the next village to Wambercourt, are the ruins of a 15thC chateau, very romantic and charming.

Fressin also has a 16thC church whose cemetery has several graves of knights who died at Agincourt.
