Hotels in Northern France

Northern France’s earthy charms are a boon to travellers in search of elegant digs and rural peace. Much of the country’s glorious past was played out here, leaving behind a network of châteaux, fortresses and relics to tempt any budding historian. Stocked with creamy cheeses, punchy ciders and fiery Calvados, the region’s indulgent larder ensures food is taken very seriously indeed – as is a warm welcome in cosseting boutique hotels.
