The
Hauts de France region, covering
the old regions of Nord -
Pas-de-Calais and Picardy , includes the French part of
the
historic
area of Europe known as Flanders - today divided between France and the
Low Countries, plus the French part of the historic ArtoisThe region is divided down the middle between two departments, the Pas de Calais to the southwest, and the department of le Nord to the northeast, along the Belgian border.
The Nord department, capital Lille, is the most heavily industrialised department of France, and the most densely populated area outside the Paris region. Lille itself is a vibrant city that has reinvented itself as the central point on the Paris - Brussels - London high-speed rail network. It has historic quarters and some fine museums.
The Pas de Calais, by contrast, is largely rural, its chalk hills and valleys very reminiscent of the landscape of eastern Kent, to which it was once joined, many thousands of years ago. This department has seaside resorts, and small country towns; in terms of population density, it is one of the the least populated areas within 100 miles of greater London.
Picardy covers the area between Nord – Pas-de-Calais and the Paris region. The south of the modern region is not part of the historic area of Picardy, and is economically part of the greater Paris area. In the east, Picardy is a very agricultural area, and one of the most important French production areas for sugar beet and cereals. At the heart of the battle zones during the First World War, it is an area that today offers many a sombre lesson in history.
