France boasts a fantastic and varied coastline; a thousand faces where the earth, sky and sea unite. From the sparkly golden beaches of the Mediterranean coast to the rugged rock faces of the North Sea.
France boasts around 3,140km of beautiful coastline, a lot of which can be appreciated in Northern and Western France. Here, the coastline is rugged and rocky and has a similar appearance to Cornwall - just perfect for long romantic walks together whatever the time of year.
