Le Domaine de Beaulieu

An hour inland from Le Touquet, close to the border with Belgium, this well-preserved château is surrounded by gardens, some growing herbs for the kitchen that’s set in its rust-colored modern addition. The Château de Beaulieu’s 28 rooms and suites are elegant and more contemporary than you might expect; the in-room comforts are augmented by a stylish Sothys spa. All impressive enough on its own terms, but made much more so by the presence of chef Christophe Dufossé, whose restaurant has been recognized with a pair of MICHELIN Stars.
