Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer, Camiers

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer has followed two older churches. The actual church was inaugurated in 1914.

About this building

The porch opens under the church steeple, with a rounded arch opening, above which the tympant has a trompe-l’oeil decor of Christ surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists, and which, while seeming to be mosaic, is in reality painted. Inside the church the nave of five divisions has two chapels which form the transept, and ends with a three-sided sanctuary and an axial chapel.

Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc Church, Touquet

A first church was built in 1886, then another one in 1911, the first one being too small, and in 1946 it was decided to rebuild everything that had been demolished in 1944. Materials are scarce and work is slow. The rebuilt church was consecrated on June 7, 1954. As in 1911, the church turns out to be too small. An annex was therefore built as an extension of the right transept, between March 1, 1957 and June 1, 1958.
