Apart from the large formal courtyard there is a very sheltered rear courtyard with a paved area next to the house that contains a large glass-topped table with seating for 12.

It was resurfaced in 2005 and remains in good condition. There is also a gravelled boules pitch with a raised terrace, garden table and chairs and honeysuckle overhead. The garden is divided into different area by paths and hedges. There are hundreds of roses and shrubs and several grassed areas for playing, reading or an afternoon nap.

Location & Local Information In the 1920s and 1930s Le Touquet was one of the most glamorous holiday destinations in Europe, frequented by royalty, the rich and famous. Today this is reflected in the grand hotels, casino, championship golf courses and innumerable restaurants nearby. The huge sandy beaches provide a welcome tranquillity. Aside from golf, the visitor can be served at the sailing centre, two equestrian centres and even a sand-yachting school. The house itself is one mile outside Montreuil, which is an ancient fortified town. Still contained within its enormous walls, the town has hardly been touched for two centuries. Small shops, cafes and restaurants are plentiful and there is an excellent market on Saturday mornings in the main square. Beyond Montreuil lies the beautiful countryside of the 'Seven Valleys' region with its charming small villages and bustling market towns. There are wonderful walks and the rivers provide for fishing as well as some exciting canoeing. For the adventurous, Paris is close enough for a day trip. The Manoir is less than one hour's drive from Calais. The Eurostar train stops at Calais four times a day and a car can be arranged by Oliver's VIP Concierge Team to pick you up from the station. Alternatively there is a daily scheduled flight from Kent to Le Touquet. Page 5
