Sourires du Nord

7 km from Lens, in the heart of the Artois hills, the Holiday cottage "Sourires du Nord" welcomes up to 6 guests in a warm and lively atmosphere. A place designed and renovated by the owner, like an authentic parenthesis, where every detail tells of what makes the mining basin and its surroundings tick... and brings a smile to those who discover it.

Here, bright colors and a cheerful atmosphere set the tone from the moment you enter. We enter a world inspired by the region, where the living space echoes local flavors and the conviviality of regional gastronomy, between gourmet traditions and shared moments. Upstairs, the atmosphere evolves towards a festive spirit, between carnival and ducasses, as a nod to the popular festivals that punctuate the life of the region. In Souchez, fully rooted in the valley of the Artois hills, the experience naturally extends outdoors. The village offers a peaceful setting marked by history and memory, notably around emblematic sites such as Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. Footpaths criss-cross the surrounding area, leading to the slag heaps, now reinvented as natural spaces, where you can enjoy open, unexpected panoramas of the whole region. Just a few minutes away, Lens adds a dynamic touch to your stay: local markets, good restaurants, events and cultural visits, culminating in the Louvre-Lens, which attracts art lovers and the curious. Lovers of history and architecture can also make quick work of Arras, renowned for its Baroque squares, Flemish facades and underground passageways steeped in history, not to mention its many events throughout the year. The surrounding area also offers a wide variety of pleasures: nature outings, bike rides, gourmet discoveries at local producers, or immersion in regional traditions through festivals and events. With its mining heritage, unspoilt landscapes and warm lifestyle, every day is a new opportunity to discover what makes Pas-de-Calais so special: the friendliness, generosity and welcome of its inhabitants. 7km Lens, 10km Arras, 23 Béthune, 69km Saint-Omer
