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.

The construction of the Notre Dame des Sables church dates back more than 100 years. Today, it has regained its original 'red beam' appearance, typical of coastal buildings and reminiscent of the swimwear of that era. The nave was built by shipwrights.
