thumb|295px|A satirical caricature of Napoleon's preparations for invasion by Robert Dighton, (1805) Étaples or Étaples-sur-Mer (; or ; formerly ; ) is a commune in the department of Pas-de-Calais, Hauts-de-France, northern France. It is a fishing and leisure port on the Canche river.
==History== Étaples takes its name from having been a medieval staple port (stapal in Old Dutch), from which word the Old French word Estaples derives. As a port it was part of the administrative and economic complex centred on Montreuil after access from the sea to that town was restricted by silting.
