A seaside resort on the Côte d'Opale in France, Wimereux is a small and pleasant town (8,000 inhabitants) comfortably set in its valley.
It is because of this privileged situation that so many persons choose to enjoy their summer holidays there. However, some persons attracted by the architecture and ambience come here at any time of the year to rest, practice sport, enjoy food, do some shopping, visit art galleries or take part in one of the many events that make it such a pleasant town to live in.
Tourists appreciate Wimereux for its traditional seaside resort feel, the preserved architecture of the early 19th century anglo-norman Victorian villas and the 1,500m long dyke where the inhabitants of Wimereux meet at any time of the year: in summer you can laze about by the huts or on pub's terraces and in winter you can come and breathe the tonic air or look in amazement at stormy waves crashing against the buildings%?6
