• 15 km / 10 miles from Boulogne (62 - Pas de Calais)
  Hostellerie de Le Wast - Chateau des Tourelles ** A two star chateau hostelry that gets top reviews is something of a rarity. But this one does. Good value, really helpful staff, gourmet restaurant, and a peaceful village location in the hills due east of Boulogne. Not surprisingly this place is very popular with people over from Britain for a short break, or en route to the south.
• Between St Omer and Boulogne (62 - Pas de Calais)
  Auberge du Moulin d'Audenfort ** Excellent value for money at this small rural inn, in the country between Boulogne and the A26 motorway (exit 2). While it may not look much from the outside, guest reviews stress the good food, value and clean rooms at this rural hideaway. Well worth checking out for an overnight stop or a short break in northern France.
• Arras (62 - Pas de Calais)
  Hotel Diamant ** Exceptional location on the historic Place des Héros, in the old centre of this once great Flanders cloth-town. The rooms are not big, but this is a reasonably priced two-star hotel which gets good write-ups from people who have stayed here. Parking right outside on the square. 
• Wimereux, south of Calais (62 - Pas de Calais)
  Hôtel Saint Jean *** A small, clean and comfortable three star hotel in the little seaside town of Wimereux, 16 miles south of the Channel Tunnel terminal.
