Montreuil or Montreuil-sur-Mer is a sub-prefecture in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It is located on the Canche river, not far from Etaples. The sea, however, is now some distance away. It is surrounded by medieval ramparts, part of the reinforcement work of the famed French military engineer Vauban from his fortification of Northern France in the 17th Century.
Montreuil was the setting for much of the early part of Victor Hugo’s novel Les Miserables. The novel’s protagonist, Jean Valjean, served as mayor of the city, and also owned a large factory. The city was the setting for much of the early conflict between Valjean and the novel’s antagonist, Javert. It was also Fantine’s hometown.
