Hauts-de-France is an administrative region in northern France, created in 2016 by merging the former regions of Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy. It borders Belgium, the English Channel, and the North Sea. Hauts-de-France is marked by its long industrial history, particularly in coal mining, as well as important cities such as Lille, Amiens, and Calais. Culturally and historically, the region is known for its Gothic cathedrals, coastal landscapes, and its role in both World Wars.
