Town of Hesdin: pretty town of church and historic building with a beautiful mix of architecture; with cafes, restaurants and shops in the city center for a nice break.

The ornate town hall, built of brick and stone, dates from the 16th century. It was once the palace of Mary of Hungary, the sister of Charles V. The central loggia depicts Philip IV of Spain and Isabella of Bourbon, surrounded by the Seven Virtues. The loggia (bay window) dates from the time when the palace was converted into a town hall (1629); The roof was added in 1702. The mayor can address the people from here. The belfry is on the UNESCO world heritage list

The banks of the Canche are lined with wooded areas made up mostly of willows, alders or even ash. Among other things, they make it possible to limit flooding, slow down the current, stabilize the banks with their roots implanted in the banks.

The Bras de Bronne, a tributary of the Canche that crosses the city, once served as a natural border. While part of the village was in Artois, the bell tower was in Boulogne: the parish came under the diocese of Boulogne. The patron saint is the founder of the neighboring diocese, Firmin, first bishop of Amiens. In the choir is a beautiful effigy of the saint, sculpted in the 16th century. Marles-Sur-Canche and its parish church dedicated to Saint Firmin contain treasures such as the statue of Saint Nicolas from the 16th century, the bronze bells from 1805 or the Altar from the 18th century. Despite its humble appearance, its history is set in stone. The building combines a sober nave with a beautiful choir in Flamboyant Gothic style, more slender. This contrast between the two sides is astonishing. The Saint Firmin church is thus strongly marked by the architectural heritage of the 15th century. The Marlois are attached to their church which, despite regular work since 1812 and the numerous renovations, shows a worrying state of health, visible by the numerous deteriorations: cracks, detachment of the cladding, broken stones, crumbling, weakened masonry of the buttresses, decaying structural wood.

It is in the Pas de Calais, in the heart of the green valley of the Canche, 20 km from Le Touquet-Paris-Plage and 5 km from Montreuil sur Mer, a fortified city steeped in history and a secret city of the Templars, that is the mansion Francis... The little Lord of Montville, who had a bit of a delusion of grandeur, had this astonishing residence built of chalk rubble in the style of a fortress built in the 17th century. Partly concealed by the large porch covered with Virginia creeper, the Francis manor is typical of Boulogne manors, these stately homes designed to protect themselves from prowlers. Past the porch, you will first be greeted by a benevolent heterogeneous fauna, a miniature replica of Noah's ark, basking in a vast enclosed courtyard.
