Day tours to discover the French Côte d'Opale — for couples, families or small groups coming from England, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands… and of course France. Fishing trips for 3 or 6 hours.
Do you want to make the most of your stay in our beautiful region, ensuring you don't miss any of its stunning landscapes and the many discoveries it has to offer? You've come to the right place.
The Opal Coast isn't just about a few sublime viewpoints that attract more visitors each year. It also boasts charming little coastal towns, sometimes hidden from view, that you really shouldn't miss.
It's a place steeped in history, often overlooked, where medieval remains and Napoleonic traces stand alongside more recent Belle Époque resorts. At its heart lies Boulogne-sur-Mer, with its fishing-port atmosphere, shining like a beacon on this diverse and vibrant coastline.
Opal Coast Tours offers various packages to help you make the most of this exceptional environment, even if just for a day. We are also happy to plan more personalized trips — just let us know your specific requests.
Each tour is a private experience with your guide — full day or half day. Meeting point to be agreed together.

Arnaud Loisel — local guide, Boulogne-sur-Mer
My name is Arnaud Loisel. I've lived in the North of France since 1998. I've traveled quite a bit, to all sorts of countries, to satisfy my curiosity and also for business. Having always worked in fashion, the time has come for me to start something new.
The Opal Coast will seduce you with its landscapes, the history of Boulogne-sur-Mer, its museums, its old town and its deeply rooted traditions. I will share that complexity and diversity with you, in English.
For those who would not want to regret missing the capital of Flanders, the 20 years I lived in Lille should allow me to guide you, adapting as closely as possible to your desires.
