Hauts-de-France

The name of this region translates to “Upper France,” and, yes, it is the northernmost point in the country. It borders Belgium to its east and the English Channel to its north, where at the narrowest point of the Strait of Dover it is only 20 miles from England. Hauts-de-France is one of the newest official regions in France, coming into existence on January 1, 2016 as a result of the merger of two smaller regions.

Cheeses from Hauts-de-France include: Maroilles, Neufchatel, Rollot
