Nord - Pas - De - Calais hotels - About Nord - Pas - De - Calais
Nord-Pas de Calais (French: Nord-Pas de Calais; Dutch: Noord-Nauw van Kales) is one of the 26 regions of France. It consists of the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, in the north and has a border with Belgium. Until the end of the 20th century both the region and the department were called Nord. Most of the region was once part of the Southern Netherlands, within the Low Countries, and gradually became part of France between 1477 and 1678. The historical provinces now included in Nord-Pas de Calais are Artois, Boulonnais, Cambraisis, Flanders, and Hainaut, and portions of northern Picardy. These provincial designations are still frequently used by the inhabitants, which offers a sense of civic pride.
It is an extremely densely populated region with some 4 million inhabitants - 7% of France's total population, making it the fourth most populous region in the country - 83% of whom live in urban communities. Its administrative centre is the city of Lille. The second largest city is Calais which serves as a major continental economic hub with Dover, England of Great Britain 35 miles away and the white cliffs of Dover, England are visible from Calais on a clear day. Other major towns include Valenciennes, Lens, Douai, Béthune, Dunkerque, Maubeuge, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Arras, Cambrai and Saint-Omer.
