Etaples
Starting April 11, an outdoor exhibition dedicated to the Étaples artists’ colony in Baie de Canche will be on display in the towns of Étaples-sur-Mer, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, and Camiers, in collaboration with the ABC Association (Association Baie de Canche). In Étaples-sur-Mer, 17 reproductions of artworks can be viewed at three locations: At Clos Saint-Victor Park, at the mill on Rue des Travailleurs de la Mer, and on Place Jeanne d’Arc. The exhibition will also be on view: On Boulevard de la Canche and at Square Paul François Rivet in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, as well as at the orchard of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer on Rue de l’Église in Camiers. This exhibition highlights these artists who came to capture the landscapes, the light, and daily life around Canche Bay. Harbors, dunes, markets, sailors, scenes of everyday life, and landscapes have inspired many painters—both French and foreign—who were moved by the region’s authenticity.
Etaples
The exhibition “Vues d’ici” features nearly 120 paintings and drawings of the Pas-de-Calais, drawn from departmental collections and regional museums. The works, by Maroniez, Le Sidaner, Chigot, Stiévenart, Tattegrain, and Ricard-Cordingley, depict the coastal architecture and 19th-century way of life in Étaples, Wissant, and Équihen.
Boulogne-sur-Mer
Discover the exhibition “Return to Boulogne-sur-Mer—From Boulogne to Biskra” at the Bibliothèque des Annonciades, 16 Pl. de la Résistance, 62200 Boulogne-sur-Mer. This exhibition showcases the work of Frechon, a local photographer, through previously unseen photographs and historical documents. You’ll be able to explore his artistic journey, from his early days in journalism to his first exhibitions in Boulogne (1886–1887), as well as his numerous trips to Algeria, Brittany, the Netherlands, and Palestine.
