Everyone visiting Northern France, especially when staying at Pres De La Foret a perfect place for touring the region,  needs to visit Berck-sur-Mer between April 12th and 21st  to visit the fantastic Kite Festival,  along the sea front.  Really a sight to see.

Arras is very often passed over for the larger more exotic cities.  However, last time I was there I took trip to see the beautiful and majestic cathedral, and the a visit to, ( for the garden lovers) there is no better place than  Les Jardins at Séricourt

There are many things to do and see in  France, here are a few that may tempt you.
