Tips from the Community
Historical background (wiki): Sanatorium Cazin-Perrochaud in Berck-Plage around 1900 Thanks to its almost germ-free and low-particle sea air, the place was an important therapy and recreation center for tuberculosis patients from the Second Empire until the discovery of suitable antibiotics. After the inauguration of the "Hôpital Maritime" by Empress Eugénie in 1869, further clinics were rapidly built, some of which are still preserved today and used for therapeutic purposes. Characteristic of these buildings are large terraces and balconies, where patients spent their days breathing.

MERLIMONT ☀️🌴😎7.04.2026 The immensity of its beach and dunes 🏖️ The pretty beach of Merlimont, about ten kilometers south of Le Touquet and in continuity with that of Berck-sur-Mer, proudly claims its 12 km of fine sand and its vast dunes. A beach as far as the eye can see, family-friendly and sporty at the same time, which allows, even in summer, to quickly escape the crowds.

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.

1891: after the death of the two doctors, a committee was formed in the country to erect a monument to them. Subscriptions poured in. Around 1892, the monument, in honour of the founding doctors of the Berck hospitals, was made by the sculptor Marie Cazin-Guillet (1844-1924), wife of Jean-Charles Cazin (1841-1901), a painter from Boulogne and brother of the doctor Henri Cazin (1836-1891). It was placed in front of the Kursaal gardens, on the Avenue de la Gare, and inaugurated on 23 August 1893. The monument was transferred to the municipality, which would be responsible for its care and maintenance. It remained in place until 1939 and was then dismantled; the round hump and the bronze bas-relief were hidden to prevent the material from melting during the Second World War. The various elements were found in the 1970s and 1980s and placed in different places: the bronze plaque at the town hall, the round bump on the Esplanade.

A first church was built in 1886, then another in 1911, the first was too small, and in 1946 it was decided to rebuild everything that had been demolished in 1944. Materials are scarce and the work is slow. The rebuilt church was consecrated on 7 June 1954. Just like in 1911, the church proves to be too small. Therefore, an extension was built as an extension of the right transept, between 1 March 1957 and 1 June 1958. The building has a Latin cross plan, faces north and is flanked on the east side by a parish annex. The southern portal is decorated with rubble and in a few cases with red bricks, which results in a pleasant polychromy. There are four bays up to the transept. Inside, the double and flying buttresses are supported by columns with Corinthian capitals, while a long barrel vault in the framework animates the central nave up to the crossing of the transept, which consists of an octagonal pointed vault.
