Audresselles is a little gem on the Opal Coast, a village where fishing boats are just as likely to be parked outside houses as cars!

The beach is pristine and rocky, little pools teeming with fish where kids can enjoy an old-fashioned net on a stick wade and wallow. There are plenty of very good restaurants round the market square – the perfect location for moules et frites and a glass of wine.

The Marie Galante is one of the prettiest restaurants on this stretch of the coast and reflects the long history of sea-faring folk from this charming fishing village. Run by sisters Godeleine and Béatrice Cuvellier, the fresh fish served here includes lobster and crab landed by fishermen in the village. On a sunny day the terrace is delightful and when the famous breeze blows in from the sea, inside is cosy and welcoming.
