France; Coast & Country  We woke to beautiful sunshine and couldn't wait to head out to the lively market in Hardelot. Everyone found a new hat, and we enjoyed browsing the colourful stalls filled with local produce, jewellery and French delicacies before relaxing with drinks in the town square. The sunshine drew us to the coast, where we enjoyed a leisurely lunch overlooking the beach at Le Grand Café before taking a scenic drive and visiting the beautiful Château d'Hardelot.  We travelled to Boulogne-sur-Mer, enjoying a stroll along the seafront before visiting Nausicaá National Sea Centre.
