Longvilliers is a small village and commune in the Pas-de-Calais département of northern France. With a population of little over 250, it retains the character and atmosphere of the French countryside.

There are no shops, but it is near enough to Frencq (5km), Montreuil-sur-Mer (10km) and Étaples (10km). The area around offers stunning views and walks into the rolling countryside.

There is a small farm that offers home produced products (flans, pies, pâté, cider, soft drinks, milk) - the Ferme de Dordonne. It is open Monday to Saturday. Most days in the main season, visitors can take a tour of the farm.

The church in the town is beautiful and dates from the 15th century.

The nearest place to eat is the well regarded 'Ferme des Chartroux', just 1km from Longvilliers at the end of the next village of Maresville. There, there are two menus (18 euros for 4 courses and 24 for 5 courses). It is advisable to book at weekends. It is closed Thursday (all day) and Sunday evening.

Cottages are available to rent, including the three restored properties called Les Cottages de Longvilliers.
