Eyeinthesky-
Le Touquet run-down? I think it must be a very, very long time since you've been there, or indeed seen the state of our UK resorts!
'Le Took' is a very affulent, clean and pretty place, who's population virtually doubles at the weekend as well-heeled Parisiens head there to forget about the working week..hence its other name 'Paris Plage' (Paris-by-the-Sea!)
