The Canche (Dutch: Kwinte) is a river in France, flowing through the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region. It originates in the Ternois region, within the commune of Gouy-en-Ternois. Initially flowing southeast, it then turns northwest and, after approximately 100 kilometers, empties into the English Channel as an estuary north of Étaples and Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. Here, the Canche is strongly influenced by the tides. This results in significant fluctuations in the river's water level and the formation of extensive salt marshes.

The cycle path itself is very good, but there are surprisingly frequent and very large potholes.

The seals are there from two hours before low tide until two hours after. It's practically the only place to see them up close without disturbing them. They feel protected by the Authie River, which flows between you and them. Elsewhere, you must maintain a distance of 300 meters.
