Very pretty valley, quiet road

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.

The Chartreuse Notre-Dame-des-Prés is a large former monastery founded in 1325 for the Order of the Carthusians by the Count of Boulogne and closed in 1901 due to the Waldeck-Rousseau law. It is located in France, in Neuville-sous-Montreuil. During the Belle Époque, it became a sanatorium and an artist's residence.

The Église Saint-Omer is a church in Estrée, a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. The church was built in 1869 according to plans by the architect Clovis Normand from Hesdin. This chalk construction is inspired by the medieval style of the 13th century. It consists of a front bell tower surmounted by a spire, an elongated nave and a choir with three sides. The furniture is in keeping with the architecture and was made by local craftsmen such as sculptor Victor Morel from Bernieulles and furniture maker Jean-Baptiste Durant from Recques-sur-Course. The church was listed as a historical monument in 1908.

The Église Saint-Léger bears witness to several building campaigns from the 13th to the 19th century. The arms of the Blondel, lord of the village from the 14th to the 16th century, are engraved above the gate. The 18th century portico is in classical style and decorated with a Trinitarian sign. The furniture of the church, in neo-Gothic style and dating from the 19th century, is the work of sculptor Jean-Baptiste Durant, native of the commune.

Inxent is a small commune in the Pas-de-Calais department of France. Inxent is located in the valley of the river Course, about 8 km north of Montreuil-sur-Mer on the D127 road. The village is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Nord Pas-de-Calais and can be discovered during a quiet walk along the water of the valley of the Course. Many English people buy a house in this region as a country residence. The route is popular with English tourists: hence the "keep right" signs

It is known for its picturesque but dilapidated water mill, 200m on the left before the church.
