I recommend this little pizzeria. Located in the Wimereux valley, in Conteville les Boulogne, on the side of the road, you have to stop there!!! Large choice of pizzas, each one as delicious as the next. The owners are also very friendly and share their travel experiences, real adventurers.

Great pizza place for those hungry on the go, cafe on the left and the pizza place on the right. You don't have to use the urinal on the side of the building, but you can, although there are spotless toilets inside. Definitely worth a stop. https://www.facebook.com/LEBAROUDEURPIZZERIA

In this fully restored 18th century manor, as well as the adjoining old brewery, you have at your disposal all the information on the territory of the Regional Natural Park, as well as its activities. You can also take part in one of the activities which take place regularly in the building or in the garden.
