The end of our stage of the day takes us to the northern tip of France. This region is very active in terms of padel and deserves to be talked about more often.

Our stage will start with Amiens to weave our way through the departements, go through Valenciennes, Béthune, Lille, then get closer to the sea with Le Touquet, Boulogne and finally Dunkirk.

Amiens, the capital of Picardy is an architectural gem with its many UNESCO listed buildings. Many canals cross it to take you to its Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, one of the largest in the world.

Valenciennes is a city with a mining past which bears the nickname of Athens of the north as its cultural history is rich.

Bethune is a city with fertile agricultural land. This bourgeois city suffered greatly from the passage of the 2 world wars. Today it continues its reconstruction with a major urban renewal project and the creation of eco-districts.

Lille, which owes its name to its first location on an island of swamps, is still nicknamed the capital of Flanders. Passed into the hands of many civilizations, it is attached to France under Louis XIV. After major degradations due to the passage of the two great wars, Lille has been rebuilt with new districts, innovations such as the automatic metro or the organization of major events such as the Braderie de Lille in September.

Le Touquet or otherwise known as “Paris-plage” is the holiday resort for the inhabitants of the capital. Multiplying its population in summer by 50, this high standing place is located near a beautiful forest. To note its famous race of motorbikes and its race of waiters.

Boulogne sur mer, a town on the edge of the English Channel, lies opposite the English coast. Coveted for the conquest of new horizons by Julius Caesar and Napoleon I, it is today a seaside resort well known for its Nausicáa aquarium, considered to be the largest in Europe.

Dunkirk, end of stage. Party town with its famous carnival with a unique atmosphere, it is also one of the largest ports in France. During its history, the city changed its nationality 3 times before becoming French in 1662.
