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.

Here, there is a series of artworks and sculptures, including “BLACK MAN” by Bruno Catalano. Take a stroll and let yourself be transported by these artistic manifestations.

Very pretty valley, quiet road

The magnificent beach of Berck-sur-Mer stretches for nearly 12 kilometers, going from the naturist beach in the north to Authie Bay in the south. With a bit of luck you might spot seals off the beach. Colonies were established on different sites on the Opal Coast.

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.
