Le Château de Beaulieu, Busnes, Normandy & Pas de Calais, France
A gourmet paradise in Pas-de-Calais, Le Château de Beaulieu is an architectural gem with elegant façades and interiors set in a romantic park, between the Opal Coast and Belgium.
The subtle balance of classic architecture and contemporary art makes this the perfect setting for what is one of the region's top restaurants, where chef Marc Meurin pays tribute to Pas-de-Calais producers by using ingredients like Boulogne-sur-Mer scallops, Étaples bass and other fish from the North Sea in the two glass-roofed restaurants. The tantalising treats don't stop there: with all kinds of traditional French confectionary at Le Macaron; and an array of seasonal recipes and chefs' tips and tricks at the outstanding cooking school.
