About the location

Eating out

Good restaurants nearby include Le Charles VI at Azincourt (3 mins), Le Fournil (8 mins), Les Trois Fontaines (15 mins), La Garenne (10 mins), La Breteche and Les Flandres in Hesdin (10 mins). There are plenty of cafes, brasseries and pizzerias in Fruges and Hesdin for more casual meals.

Shopping

Local shopping facilities include the market towns of Fruges (3mins) and Hesdin (10 mins). For more serious shoppers St. Omer with its Auchan and Carrefour hypermarchés, stylish boutiques, art and furniture galleries is only 25 minutes drive. Antique lovers will find a treasure trove in Montreuil (25 mins) including a weekly auction sale, while fashion junkies should make a bee-line for Le Touquet (45 mins) with its branches of Paris boutiques, smart cocktail bars and casinos.

Historic Sightseeing

Conflict and war has left its mark on the region and historians will not want to miss the battlefields of Azincourt (3 mins) and Crecy (30 mins). Azincourt, where, in 1415, the army of Henry V won the most famous victory in English history, has a fine new museum dedicated to the battle. British visitors welcome!

Elsewhere, in particular close to Arras, Albert and Bapaume (about 1 hr) there are some moving World War One battlefield monuments and cemeteries. An outing to the monuments and preserved trench lines at Beaumont Hamel, Vimy, Thiepval and Ypres are particularly recommended, especially if your visit is around the time of Armistice Day (November 11). Everywhere, historical sites and fine chateaux abound.
