Hesdin is a charming old market town. Its centre has changed little in the last hundred or so years and many of the buildings go back to the 17th century when it was an important military outpost of Spanish rule

The 7 Valleys region around the market town of Hesdin is the prettiest part of the
Pas De Calais. It is popular with British tourists and second-home owners. It’s
also a popular and traditional holiday destination for Dutch and Belgian families.
Hesdin, at the centre of the 7 Valleys region, has a wonderful charm, just over 1 hour away from the channel tunnel it has a lovely cobbled town square, with a small but very helpful tourist centre, which offers much in the way of information for the area, a beautiful church, and the river Canche which runs through the centre of the town.
The town of Montreuil, a few miles further down the Canche valley retains its ancient
fortified ramparts and a very old-world charm
