Painting Exhibition in Baie de Canche

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.

The Etaples Artists' Colony in Canche Bay

Étaples

The Etaples Artists’ Colony in Canche Bay In the late 19th century, many French and foreign artists discovered Canche Bay. In Étaples-sur-Mer, the painters found studios, models, and an atmosphere conducive to creativity. In Camiers and Trépied, they drew inspiration from the landscapes. In Le Touquet, they enjoyed the seaside setting. The exhibition “The Etaples Artists’ Colony in Canche Bay” features outdoor displays across the three towns of reproductions of their works, inspired by local life and the bay’s landscapes. This exhibition will take place on August 1, 2026. We invite you to discover the works of these artists and immerse yourself in the creative atmosphere that enlivened Canche Bay over a century ago.
