French Regions and Departments
Le nord - (Nord, Pas-de-Calais)
The Nord French region of France has two departments, the Nord and the Pas-de-Calais.
Weather: Cool winters and warm summers, but lots of wind
all year round.
The Region: The north of the region has huge expanses of
sandy beach (‘The Opal Coast’), accommodating lots of beach and
water activities, such as sand surfing. Further south are fields and forests.
Le Nord is the most northerly region of France, and borders Belgium. The
similar climate and cultures of Belgium and Le Nord are reflected in the
landscape of the north of this region, with the numerous windmills and flat
land.
For some city excitement, there is always one festival or another going
on in one of Le Nord’s towns. It is even known as the carnival region,
because of the party atmosphere generated during the cities’ numerous
celebrations, and there is not a single week of the year that hasn’t
got a festival going on somewhere in the region.
Gastronomy: Fresh seafood reigns supreme!
