Montreuil-sur-Mer: History, Visits and Activities
Montreuil-sur-Mer, located in the Pas-de-Calais département in the Hauts-de-France region, is a charming little fortified town with a rich historical and cultural heritage. Nestling on a hill overlooking the Canche valley, this medieval town boasts impressive ramparts, cobbled streets and picturesque houses. In this article, we invite you to discover the fascinating history of Montreuil-sur-Mer, the tours and activities on offer, as well as the best options for holiday rentals, gites and B&Bs for a memorable stay.
Montreuil-sur-Mer: medieval city between heritage, nature and culture
Montreuil-sur-Mer is one of those discreet gems that amaze visitors in search of authenticity. Clinging to the hills of the Pas-de-Calais, this town with its thousand-year-old past was once a prosperous port, before the sea receded. It has preserved a remarkable silhouette from that era, encircled by impressive ramparts that can be explored on foot, offering superb panoramic views over the Canche valley. The town is like an open-air history book: the 16th-century citadel, the Gothic church of Saint-Saulve, the cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses, the Italian-style theatre, the flower-filled gardens and the quiet squares invite you to take a break. Listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Detours in France", Montreuil-sur-Mer will appeal as much to heritage enthusiasts as to strollers in search of inspiration. A timeless place, ideal for a cultural, bucolic and rejuvenating break.
