This country church was built in the 18th century with dressed stone and a slate roof. Note its stained-glass windows, restored in 2004, which let in a pretty light.

This neoclassical-style church was built in place of an older one destroyed during the Spanish invasions of 1636. It stands out for the bulbous dome topped by a spire of its bell tower, its pediment reminiscent of that of Valloires, or its five-bay nave.

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.
