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.

Even on an electric mountain bike in turbo mode, some sections are impassable. To get through them more or less, you have to look for the sides of the track, where a bit of grass allows you to pass without getting stuck in the sand.
