Étaples Opalenews event
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.
