Nord-Pas de Calais is Britain\'s foothold in France; it\'s where the ferries dock and the Channel Tunnel emerges into daylight. Bradt\'s Cross-Channel France delves not only into the port towns but also into the forgotten France that\'s rarely reached. Sample Vieux Boulogne - the smelliest cheese in the world; climb the hill at Cassel - where the Grand Old Duke of York marched his 10,000 men; or visit Agincourt - the site of a cornerstone battle in British history. The guide also reveals where visitors can shop for cut-price goods and where they can cycle, walk or ride horses. Bradt\'s Cross-Channel France is packed with information for day trips as well as longer family-friendly holidays.
