Easter Egg Hunt – Le Touquet Events

Easter Egg Hunt - Le Touquet

Easter Egg Hunt – Le Touquet

The big FREE Easter Egg Hunt in Le Touquet takes place on Sunday 1st April at 10 am.
 Parc des Pins, Avenue de Verger

With Easter  almost upon us excitement grows with thoughts of Hot cross buns and chocolate eggs. Children’s anticipation mounts as  chocolate mountains flash before starry eyes. Where technology is king it’s refreshing to see that Easter Egg Hunts still attract big crowds. In the UK Cadbury the famous chocolate company join forces with the Natural Trust to sponsor 250 events  this year. In France The Centre des Monuments Nationaux, sponsored by Cémoi, hold Easter egg hunts at many national monuments on Easter Sunday. The French love affair with chocolate is quite staggering with some 13,000 tonnes of chocolate sold at Easter.

So what is the history of chocolate Easter eggs?

Lets step back one stage, Why do we celebrate Easter with eggs?

In many cultures the egg represent a symbol of new life, fertility and rebirth. For Christians the egg is symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The first Easter Eggs were duck or hen eggs decorated in the home with local dyes and paints. Chocolate eggs are a relative newcomer to the Easter story not appearing until the 19th Century. France and Germany pioneered the new and exciting chocolate market that we see today.

The ultimate eggs crafted by Carl Fabergé are now worth millions. Tsar Alexander III commissioned the first egg as a gift to his wife, the Empress Maria Fedorovna. 50 other eggs were given by the Russian Royal family of which only 43 survive.
So what are some key French Phrases that you may need when you are deciphering the clues on your local hunt.

Joyeuses Pâques or Bonnes Pâques – Happy Easter

Vacances de Pâques – Easter holidays

Lundi de Pâques – Easter Monday

Dimanche de Pâques – Easter Sunday

Vendredi Saint – Good Friday

Jeudi Saint – Maundy Thursday

Le Carême – Lent

Pâques fleuries – Palm Sunday or Easter in Flower.

Spare a thought for the volunteer Mums and Dads who work hard to come up with the ideas. Here are a few Easter Egg Hunt clues to help you on your way.

You don’t have to search very long or far this is where we keep the car.

I have four legs but cannot walk you sit at me and use your knife and fork.

Gourmet Dining in Le Touquet

by
fruit-filled-choux-pastry Le Touquet

Discover new flavours and taste associations at the Village Suisse Restaurant. Try the Blue Lobster Saint Jacques with Butternut Squash and ginger. Or maybe the Feuillete Champignons es Bois. As the waiter passes by with other dishes it makes it even harder to choose.

Then there is the dessert menu, Pineapple Coco, Chocolate Pear, Rhubarb and Verveine or opt for something simple and refreshing such as the Citron Lemon.

The only problem you will have is deciding what to have from the beautifully presented range of dishes.

Citron-Dessert - Le Touquet
The Village Suisse Restaurant located in the heart of Le Touquet in an area that carries the same name. In 1906 Mr. Perret-Maisonneuve, assisted by the architect Bertrand, built a village on the dunes of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage which was to remind him of Switzerland.
 
The excellent French European menu is well worth the climb up a few uneven steps. 
In good weather, there is a choice of outside dining on the balcony overlooking the village district of Le Touquet. Or chose the delightful, luxurious dining room inside. 
On a summers evening the balcony location is difficult to beat.
 
If you are thinking of visiting this restaurant in Le Touquet then I would recommend making a reservation.

An Afternoon Out in Le Touquet

by
Light House - Le Touquet

Visit the Le Touquet Lighthouse (Le Phare) for a great afternoon out.

Come and feel the breeze and the cleanness of air as your eyes wander the amazing panorama before you. With 274 steps it’s a challenging climb but perfect for tiring the children out.  The view from the inland lighthouse is stunning and it is definitely one of the top selfie spots in Le Touquet.  Also known as the Canche lighthouse it’s impressive structure of 57.6 meters has guarded the Canche Estuary since 1949.

From the top of the Lighthouse with good visibility you can expect to see the bay of Canche with the Norman cliffs,  the ramparts of the city of Montreuil and, the wooded dunes of the Opal Coast.

On a clear day looking Northwest from the viewing point you can see England and the White Cliffs of Dover approximately 70Km away.

For such a dominating light across Le Touquet you would expect a very powerful bulb. However each lamp is only 250 Watts giving a range of up to 25 nautical miles.
The optical lenses used today were recovered from the lighthouses war damaged predecessor dating from 1900.
