Montreuil Nord - Pas de Calais
 |
 |
|
|
Montreuil is a town in the Pas-de-Calais
department in northern France. It is located on the Canche river,
not far from Étaples. The town is often referred to as
Montreuil-sur-Mer, although the sea is now some distance away.
The walled town is charming with its beautiful old houses and
churches, its imposing ramparts and its cobbled streets, and
a good selection of restaurants and hotels. In Roman times, the
sea ran up the estuary of the Canche as far as Montreuil. The
town is surrounded by medieval ramparts, part of the reinforcement
work of the famed French military engineer Vauban from his fortification
of northern France in the17th Century. |

de Calais |

 |
Nord-Pas de Calais lies in northern
France where the Channel ports of Dunkerque, Calais and Boulogne
are the focal points along a busy coastline that stretches from
the Somme estuary to the Belgian border. The white cliffs running
from Boulogne to Calais provide dramatic scenery along the Cote
d'Opale. The influence of Flemish culture can be seen along the
Belgian border with windmills, canals and graceful Flemish architecture.
The Somme valley is a legacy to World War 1 with its memorial
cemeteries and poppy-strwewn battlefields. The large, Euro-oriented
city of Lille offers great culture and a charming historic centre,
aswell as the new hi-tech district EuraLille. |
