The town's origins lie in religion: its name comes from the Latin word monasteriolum. Its prominent position, 40 meters above the Canche valley, enabled it to play a military role. Strolling through the narrow streets is like leafing through a history book. Here, the past is recounted through churches, chapels, mansions and picturesque streets. The town was made famous by Victor Hugo, who set the opening scene of Les Misérables here. A magnificent son et lumière show is held here every year. Divided by the valleys of the Canche, Course and Authie, the Montreuillois region offers a wide variety of landscapes.
