Day trip to Le Touquet: Advice/recommendations requested

Hi fellow pilots

I'm planning a VFR daytrip to Le Touquet. I was wondering if anyone out there had some top tips on procedures (both in the air and on the ground) with regard to the approach into the airfield. I have heard that ATC can be a bit harsh...

I have flown accross the channel a number of times, so am happy with that part of the flying. But are there any idiosyncracies i should know about the approach - reporting points - expected local knowledge, etc.

And once on the ground, are there choices of places to park/refuel - good clubs/ bad clubs? Landing fees etc?

And finally, we will have 3-4hrs to kill, any top tips on places to get lunch, things to do in the local area?

Advice gratefully received!
