With a coastline that is spectacularly varied, France has some of the most glorious beaches in Europe. From the Côte d’Opale on the English Channel to the Atlantic Côte d’Argent, with its miles of unbroken sandy beaches and the chic Mediterranean Riviera, France boasts some of the most beautiful shorelines in Europe – and the odd lovely bar and cafe to enjoy, too.
Tell us about your favourite beaches to lay down your towel whether it is a sheltered cove, a secluded slice of sand accessible only after a hike or somewhere where you can soak up some sunshine on a deckchair.
