Transports in Hauts-de-France
The A1 is the major route that runs through the entire region but bear in mind that some heavy tolls are levied on motorists who use it. Stick to N roads to avoid these. Some express train services run from Calais to major cities like Lille. Other than those, you'll need to board regional trains which have more stops but which cover the entire area adequately.


when to go to hauts-de-France ?
Most holidaymakers come to Hauts-de France in the summer months when the weather is most predictable. The climate in this part of France is not dissimilar from that which you'd find in southern England. Boulogne holds an excellent outdoor Christmas market every December and its near neighbour, Calais, stages a street parade sometime in the run-up to the festive season. The European Film Festival of Lille is one of the biggest in France and this is held annually in April. In July, Arras' main square is turned over to a big music festival each year.
