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.

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.

84TH ANNIVERSARY OF GENERAL DE GAULLE'S CALL TO ARMS

Highlight • Other

84 years ago, General de Gaulle made his famous appeal of 18 June from London, a moment that marked the birth of Free France, an essential resistance movement during the Second World War against the Nazi occupation. Every year in Etaples-sur-Mer, the municipality, veterans, law enforcement officers and residents come together to commemorate this historic event on the 18 June square. This emblematic square, located at the entrance to the Rue de Camiers, is decorated with several portraits paying tribute to the heroes and emblematic figures of France.

Saint Michael's Church (Étaples)

Highlight • Religious Site

The original St. Michael's Church dates from the 13th century and was a cruciform church with an octagonal crossing tower, but it was destroyed during the bombing of 15 June 1944. A new church was built between 1955 and 1960, designed by Clément Tambuté and Pierre Requier. It is characterised by the special incidence of light. Of interest is a large stained glass window in concrete depicting the creation.
