Enduro du Touquet - The Race
The Le Touquet Enduro is very much a family and biker event, combining the serious competitor challenge of the race with a mad social weekend for all concerned. The roar of motorbike engines can be heard everywhere in the chic seaside resort often into the early hours. Even if you are not really a motorbike fan, the site of some 1000 + motorbikes and quads screaming along the sand dunes is an exhilarating experience.
The main race for Le Touquet Sand Enduro, as it is also known, takes place on the Sunday. More recent years has seen the increasing popularity of the quad bike race on the Saturday with some 150 riders taking part.

The Route
The start line of the enduro motorcycle race is on the main beach close to the Aqualud water park and fun fair. The route stretches some 16Kms continuing along the beach past Stella Plage and Merlimont. The Sunday morning sees a continued swell in the numbers of people and traffic entering the town. St Josse Farmhouse is an excellent self catering villa to rent for the weekend or longer holiday. It provides a tranquil escape from the biker bash of the town yet within a short drive of a good viewing spot.
From St Josse Farmhouse its an easy 10 minute drive down to the beach at Stella Plage. The beach at Stella Plage tends to be less crowded and you can get a good view of the mad biker action. For more details and how to book holiday cottages then please visit our website.
