Labroye

Labroye is a village in the south of the department of Pas-de-Calais, situated in a hillside environment in the valley of the river Authie, which flows through the village. A mixture of woodland and farms, the village has many examples of typical Picardie houses, built in the traditional style with wattle and daub, covered in tar and then whitewashed. The village is at the crossroads of two départemental routes. One, north-south going from Hesdin to Abbeville, the D928 and the other going east-west to Auxi-le-Château and on to Berck, the D119.

[edit] Places and monuments

The church, solid and reinforced, was once accompanied by a castle, which gave refuge to [|Philippe VI]] following the battle of Crecy that took place some kilometres to the south on August 26th 1346.

A campsite, a restaurant and some chambres d’hóte allow for tourist leisure activities – hunting, fishing and walking, as well as the opportunity to meander along to some of the other towns of the community known as the Seven Valleys.
