The area in front of the sea that the houses (B&B's) and beach huts are on would be called the Promenade in England .

You said it neilt3 going back in my books (those of the wife to say the truth), I discovered that Wimereux is built mainly in the "Anglo Normand" style, and the area is called "Digue-promenade", by the way Wimereux is also so called "Nice du nord".

I have to improve my french too !

All the best, Michel.

Although I'm not into foreign language's , much of the English language and culture has evolved  over hundreds of years influenced by the influx of Europeans either as invading forces from the Romans , Angles , Saxon's , Normans etc to more recent refuges from wars or political oppression .

So a lot of things are familiar , if not the same , be it architecture , language or food .

So...I'm more into food , don't know the name of the meal , but I know what I like !

.

Look forward to seeing more pictures .

Regards , Neil .
