Book a train ticket

In the Hauts de France region, the landscapes leave you speechless. There are the sandy expanses of the Baie de Somme, the vertiginous cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez and Cap Gris-Nez and the vast forest of Crécy. But culture and history also have their place. In Lille there are about ten museums while in Lens, the Louvre museum has found a second home!

In summer, it's hard to resist the charm of the Opal Coast and its chic seaside resorts like Le Touquet or popular like Stella Plage. At the start of the school year, we rush to Lille for the big clearance sale, the region's unmissable event! And for Christmas, the festive markets bring their fairy tale. Would you rather go to Arras, Lille or in front of the gigantic Amiens cathedral?

Although he spent his childhood in the Paris region, singer Pierre Bachelet published the title Les Corons in 1982. A sober and moving piece which evokes the miners of the North, their pride and their difficult life. When he died in 2005, the audience of the RC Lens football team paid tribute to him by singing this song. Since then, he has been sung with fervor at every club game.
