A first church was built in 1886, then another in 1911, the first was too small, and in 1946 it was decided to rebuild everything that had been demolished in 1944. Materials are scarce and the work is slow. The rebuilt church was consecrated on 7 June 1954. Just like in 1911, the church proves to be too small. Therefore, an extension was built as an extension of the right transept, between 1 March 1957 and 1 June 1958. The building has a Latin cross plan, faces north and is flanked on the east side by a parish annex. The southern portal is decorated with rubble and in a few cases with red bricks, which results in a pleasant polychromy. There are four bays up to the transept. Inside, the double and flying buttresses are supported by columns with Corinthian capitals, while a long barrel vault in the framework animates the central nave up to the crossing of the transept, which consists of an octagonal pointed vault.

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.

The Notre-Dame church, located in the hamlet of Trépied in Cucq, was built in 1965-1966 by the Boulogne architect Yves Laloy. It is a concrete block construction covered with cement. The single-sided roof consists of a concrete slab on slabs. The church consists of two rectangular buildings that communicate with each other. The first houses the nave, the second the weekday chapel. The altar, located at the intersection of the two, benefits from overhead lighting coming from a bay window and a skylight. It is visible both from the nave and from the weekday chapel. The latter, narrower, houses the baptistery.
