Where can you rent a seaside mobile home in northern France? In one sentence: at Le Portel, on the Opal Coast, where our two residential mobile homes overlook the Channel from the cliff — rented directly, with no agency or platform fees. The Hauts-de-France coastline stretches from the Bay of Somme to the Belgian border, but few places offer a true panoramic sea view at this price.
We're Michel and Véronique, owners of Blueportel. This page helps you choose the right seaside stay in the region — and understand why renting directly from an owner remains, for a coastal holiday, the best-value option.
The northern France coast: where to base yourself?
The Hauts-de-France coast offers very different moods: the long sandy beaches of the south (Berck, Le Touquet, Hardelot), Belle Époque resorts (Wimereux), the dramatic cliffs of the Two Capes (Gris-Nez, Blanc-Nez), and the central stretch around Boulogne-sur-Mer and Le Portel. For a stay that combines sea view, beach access and easy reach of the whole coast, the central coast is the best compromise — that's where Le Portel is.
Le Portel has an asset few coastal towns combine: an inhabited cliff overlooking the sea directly, a family beach below, and a position 10 minutes from Boulogne and Nausicaá. Our complete Opal Coast guide details the itineraries possible from this base.
Our sea-view mobile homes at Le Portel
At the residential Phare d'Opale campsite, on the cliff, we rent two fully equipped mobile homes facing the sea:
- [Blueportel Prestige](/pages/prestige) — 3 bedrooms, up to 6 guests, a 12 m² covered terrace with a panoramic Channel view. Ideal for a family or two couples.
- [Blueportel Horizon](/pages/horizon) — 2 bedrooms, up to 4 guests, the same seafront location. Perfect for a couple or small family, on a gentler budget.
Why rent owner-direct, with no fees?
Most seaside mobile-home rentals in northern France go through holiday-village campsites or platforms that add service fees (12-16%), flat cleaning fees and commissions. By booking directly with us, you pay the fair price: no agency or platform fees, and a single point of contact — us — reachable before and during your stay.
It's also about experience: we send our guests the tide times, the beach map and our favourite local spots, and we adapt arrival to your journey. To compare every option (hotel, Airbnb, gîte, mobile home) with real prices, read our coastal accommodation comparison.

Do the mobile homes have a real sea view?
Yes, panoramic. Both mobile homes are on the cliff at Le Portel and the terrace overlooks the Channel directly. Travellers rate the location 9.5/10 on Booking.com.
