Beussent is a village in the Course valley a short drive from Calais and Boulogne. We stayed a couple of miles away in Inxent. Any of the villages in this area would make a good touring base. The photo below shows what was once an old flour mill with a water wheel.The river runs through the whole valley

The villages other claim to fame it is the home of Chocolaterie de Beussent. The chocolate factory is on a country road in the middle of the French countryside. It is the last place you would expect.When we arrived there was a coach dropping people outside and another in the car park.Inside the factory was a party of Americans shortly followed by 2 British parties.When we tried the chocolates we knew why we brought several items see the photos below.They also have shops all over France
