Travel guide
Understand
Montreuil's moniker of sur-Mer hints at its past status as a port town. While it has never been on the seafront, the river Canche was wider and deeper until the late Middle Ages, permitting seagoing vessels to use Montreuil as a harbour. After this period, the Canche silted up and Montreuil became fully landlocked. The river's port is now further downstream at Étaples.
Do
Walk along the ramparts that surround the town. There is no fence or other protective barrier along the edge of the ramparts, so this walk is best done when it is light and not after a few glasses of wine. Explore the cobbled streets and squares within the town.
Buy
Shops are located around the market square, Place de General de Gaulle. Market on Saturday.
