The Canche (Dutch: Kwinte) is a river in France, flowing through the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region. It originates in the Ternois region, within the commune of Gouy-en-Ternois. Initially flowing southeast, it then turns northwest and, after approximately 100 kilometers, empties into the English Channel as an estuary north of Étaples and Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. Here, the Canche is strongly influenced by the tides. This results in significant fluctuations in the river's water level and the formation of extensive salt marshes.

The British military cemetery at Étaples is one of the largest British First World War cemeteries in France and is located near the town of Étaples in the Pas-de-Calais department. It contains over 11,000 Commonwealth graves from the First World War, in addition to Second World War graves and 658 German graves. The cemetery serves as a memorial to soldiers who died of their injuries or illnesses in the nearby British military hospitals and training camps.

This Spanish mill was built around 1635, on the banks of the Lacquette River. It produced flour until 1938, then milling for livestock. It was bought in 1974 to be transformed into a home. It is built with brick and stone (white limestone). All that remains of the original building is the north gable (17th century), and also a porch. The water wheel is still in place but it no longer turns. The dam forms a pretty waterfall. A turret was added on the river side. It is a very beautiful private home with a beautiful garden in which you can see a stone fountain.
