Hélios apartment tour, room by room

Hélios is one of the two flats at Villa Mon Étoile, a 1920s Art Deco villa at 40 rue d'Étaples in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, on the Opal Coast in Northern France. It is on the first floor. Its 55 m² have been fully renovated for 4 people (plus a baby), with new appliances and fittings throughout. Here is the tour, room by room, before you pick your dates on the booking page.

The villa is about 300 m from the beach and 200 m from rue Saint-Jean and its shops, so once you've arrived everything is on foot. Each room described below is exactly what you'll find when you arrive, as set out in our rental agreement.

The sitting and dining room

The living space brings together the dining and sitting areas. A large wooden table seats 6 on its 6 chairs, so there's room to have people round for dinner. On the sitting side, a sofa, a coffee table, an antique dresser and a large decorative fireplace set the tone of the house.

The sofa can be used as an occasional extra bed; the flat still sleeps 4 people plus a baby. A TV and free 8 Gb/s fibre wifi complete the picture.

The kitchen

The kitchen is equipped for proper holiday cooking: ceramic hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. For breakfast there's a Nespresso machine, a kettle, a toaster and a citrus press; for baking, an electric whisk.

The terrace

Leading on from the sitting room, the tiled terrace is furnished with an outdoor table. A barbecue is waiting for fine evenings.

The main bedroom

The main bedroom has a 160 × 200 cm bed with new mattress, pillows and duvet, plus a console table that doubles as a desk.

The children's room

The second bedroom has two 90 × 200 cm single beds. Keep them apart for two children, or push them together to make one large bed.

The bathroom

The bathroom has a bath with shower curtain, a basin, a WC, a heated towel rail and a water heater. The washing machine and a clothes airer are here too: handy for a week-long stay.

Equipment and baby kit

• Free 8 Gb/s fibre wifi and TV.
• Iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner.
• Bed linen and towels provided, end-of-stay cleaning (€50 cleaning and linen fee).
• For little ones: high chair, travel cot, baby bath, toys, books and child-friendly tableware (see Le Touquet with a baby).

For practical details (arrival, keys, house rules), see our FAQ, or find the full description of the flat on the Hélios page.

Hélios is available from €140 a night, with a 2-night minimum, plus the €50 cleaning and linen fee. Book direct for the best price (cheaper than Airbnb), with early check-in or late check-out offered subject to availability.

Charles's tip: Hélios and Cassiopée are laid out the same way. If there are 8 of you, book both for the same dates: each family keeps its own kitchen and bathroom (see holiday let for 8).
