Le Crotoy: An Inspiring Coastal Area
On the coast of Picardy, France sits Le Crotoy, a beach resort town known for its sandy beach 8.7 miles long. A fishing town during the 17th century, Le Crotoy has charmed artists such as Jules Verne, Alfred Manessier, Colette and the perfumer Guerlain with its astoundingly beautiful landscape.
Best Time to Visit
You can fully enjoy Le Crotoy in the months of June-August. This, however, is a busy period, so make sure to book your Le Crotoy lodging in advance to avoid high prices. If you want to get good hotel deals and enjoy the place without the crowds, schedule your visit anytime between September to November. Notable le crotoy events include the jazz festival in May, and Bastille Day every July 14.
