You’ll love:
- the cosy, cave-like atmosphere of your accommodation, a birdwatching hide
- the sensation of being wrapped in nature and surrounded by trees and lakes
- seeing your little ones enjoy a pony ride
- the option to borrow bikes and head off on a family cycling adventure
- the fact that beautiful beaches are within easy reach
Located not just within an easy 90-minute drive of Calais ? and convenient for the A28 motorway too ? Domaine du Lieu Dieu isn’t just the perfect place to stay for birdwatchers, it’s also an idyll for horse lovers too, home to 80 horses.
Your 2-night family package includes a pony ride for your little ones plus a second activity of cycling for the whole family. If you want to make even better use of the 250-acre site and its lakes, opt for fishing and the multiple walking trails too.
Though the focus at Domaine du Lieu Dieu is definitely the great outdoors, let’s take you for a tour inside your simple yet luxurious and unique accommodation, La Maison des Oiseaux, too. Features of the 60 m2 cottage cum birdwatching hide comprise a well-equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms, panoramic windows to let the outside inside ? and here’s something the kids will love ? a grass roof that you can stand up on. (Yes, you read that right, grass, not glass!) Conveniences have all been thought of too, to make your stay as smooth and easy as possible with nothing getting in the way of you recharging your batteries. Towels and bedding are all provided (beds are made up for your arrival), and there are meal options to tag on too if you so wish, so that you need not worry about where breakfast or dinner is coming from. Forget rushing around for once; we do enough of that at home!
If you’ve got your finger on Beauchamps on the map of Northern France, you’ll have noticed something else too: the coast is only a 20-minute drive away. Head to the twin towns of Le Tréport and Mers-les-Bains, known for gorgeous seafront villas, equally grand cliffs, a fish market and cliff railway. And a little further along the coast there’s the supernatural Somme Bay too, with something to entertain everyone in the family: a choice of beaches, seals to spot, kayaking, chic shopping, a steam train, market, boat trips and more. You’re also on the border with Normandy, bursting with the history of William the Conqueror, Joan of Arc, Claude Monet and the D-Day beaches. How long did you say you have again?
