The Canche River in northern France flows through the Hauts-de-France region, known for its serene and natural beauty. Originating near the town of Frévent, the river winds through picturesque landscapes and small villages before reaching the English Channel near Étaples. In the summer, the Canche's water temperature generally ranges between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F), making it refreshing, though slightly cool for swimming. However, due to its shallow depth and colder seasonal temperatures, the river is not typically a prime swimming location.

Instead, the Canche is more popular for kayaking, fishing, and nature walks along its banks, where diverse bird species and aquatic life thrive. The river’s gentle flow and scenic banks attract visitors for leisurely outdoor activities, but official swimming areas are limited. Local authorities recommend enjoying water activities like fishing and kayaking to experience the river’s calm waters without the immersion of full swimming.
