Hotels in Nord, France

Nord is a department in northern France bordering Belgium, with a cool oceanic climate averaging 40°F (4°C) in winter and 70°F (21°C) in summer, famous for its UNESCO-listed coal mining basin and Flemish heritage. In winter, explore the underground mine tunnels at the Centre Historique Minier de Lewarde, then warm up with a local welsh dish in Lille's Vieux-Lille district, while summer invites you to bike through Parc de la Deûle or attend the Braderie de Lille, Europe's largest flea market. For a coastal escape, head to the Côte d'Opale for sandy beaches at Dunkirk or Boulogne-sur-Mer, best visited in late spring or early autumn for mild weather.
