Escalles is located on the coast of the Pas-de-Calais, part of the Opal Coast. The height of the commune varies from 0 to 154 meters, and the church is located at an altitude of 47 meters above sea level, at the foot of the 151 meter high Mont d'Hubert. From Escalles a road leads steeply down to the sea, the Cran d'Escalles. In the immediate vicinity of the village is Cap Blanc-Nez, with chalk cliffs.

The Roman period was important here, as a highway

from Sangatte to Boulogne-sur-Mer passed through this area.

The cloth industry was important in the Middle Ages. From 1347 to 1558, Escalles was controlled by the English. The village was destroyed during the reconquest by the French.

In 1803, by order of Napoleon Bonaparte, artillery was placed under and above the cliff as part of the blockade of England.

Small charming village and very clean among the wheat fields on the cliffs.
