The seaside village of Equihen Plage
Equihen Plage is a seaside village with a population of about 3,000. It is on the Cote dOpale between Boulogne and Hardelot Plage
It was originally a fishing village, The first houses were up turned fishing boats. They built a base and used the boat as a roof. Some of these have been restored and are used as viewing points. Others have been turned into holiday homes like the ones in the photo below.
One thing you notice in the village is the number of houses selling fresh mussels in the front garden.
