Quentovic

About

Quentovic is an emporium, a former trading port of the High Middle Ages, active from the 7th to the 10th century, located in the present Pas-de-Calais, France. It was one of Carolingians' main seaports. Like Dorestad in the Netherlands, Quentovic was a personal possession of Charlemagne. Archaeologists now admit that Quentovic was located at the mouth of the Canche, between Morinia and Ponthieu, probably at the location of the present village of La Cantierie.
