This neo-Gothic mansion is located in front of the lake of mirrors. It was built in the 19th century by Sir John Hare, who drew inspiration from Windsor Castle but retained the remains of the 13th century fortification. In 2009 it was restored by the department, furnished and decorated in Victorian and Napoleon III style. Today, visitors are told about the history of the castle and what the Franco-English "accord cordial" is, as well as in a more general way the particular relations between these two countries.

Calvaire des Marins d’Étaples

Highlight • Monument

The Calvary of the sailors of Étaples is a monument that pays tribute to the Etaples sailors who have disappeared at sea since the 19th century. It is located on the port, between the Canche dike and the Boulevard de l’Impératrice.
The Calvary was built in 1818, at the request of the maritime community. It consisted of a wooden cross, decorated with the instruments of the Passion. It was moved and replaced several times during its history, due to port and road works. The current Calvary dates from 1953 and was designed by the architect Pierre Baillet.
The Calvary is accompanied by a stele bearing the names of the boats on which the missing sailors sailed, as well as commemorative plaques indicating the names and dates of death of the sailors. The Calvary is a symbolic and moving place for the families and inhabitants of Étaples. It bears witness to the courage and sacrifice of the Etaples sailors.

View of Étaples harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Etaples, located where the English Channel meets the North Sea, is a port for coastal fishing (sole, plaice, whiting, shrimp) and sea fishing. Due to the silting up of the Canche, the large trawlers operate mainly from Boulogne-sur-Mer, but the fishermen remain attached to the original port.
