Relais du Roy

Montreuil-sur-Mer near Le Touquet, Somme - North East France
NE38




The Relais du Roy is the Original coaching inn at Montreuil-sur-Mer as well as being the oldest hotel, having operated continuously from the time of its original construction in 1576. While the original exterior remains unchanged, the interior has been innovatively and quirkily redesigned and redecorated in a  typically French style over the recent past.

Situated on the original Paris/Calais to London coaching route this inn was frequented by the former Kings of France and England.

Famous and Eminent guests through the years include:
Laurence Sterne in 1765 during the writing of his famous book "A Sentimental Journey": Victor Hugo in 1812 during the writing of "Les Miserables" - not surprisingly he based the inn featured in "Les Miserables" on the hotel and stayed in room 12b, overlooking the courtyard: Field Marshall General Douglas Haig in 1918, used the hotel as his operational headquarters in the Montreuil. More recently Gerard Depardieu has been a guest on more than one occasion.

  70 minutes from Calais, 80 minutes from Dieppe,  40 minutes from Boulogne: beaches 15 minutes by car.

Accommodations:
The  hotel offers 13 bedrooms of varying proportions either overlooking the courtyard or the road - prices vary according to size. The decor is truly French - quirky and  charming but maybe a little eccentric: all rooms have their own bathroom or shower room and toilet.

It has a late night licensed bar and salon in which you take your ease.







Other Details:

Your hosts speak good English.

Breakfast is served in the courtyard when weather permits or in the dining room at other times: lunch and dinner can be taken in the hotel's own restaurant: once frequented by French and English Royalty during past centuries, it is still recognised as one of the best restaurants in Montreuil-sur-Mer, a town famous for its good food.

Open all year round.
