Étaples or Étaples-sur-Mer ([etapl]; Dutch: Stapel) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It is a fishing and leisure port on the Canche river.
History
Étaples takes its name from having been a medieval staple port (stapal in Old Dutch), from which word the Old French word Estaples derives. As a port it was part of the administrative and economic complex centred on Montreuil after access from the sea to that town was restricted by silting.
The site of modern Étaples lies on the ridge of dunes which once lay to seaward of a marsh formed off-shore from the chalk plateau of Artois. From the Canche northwards, the dunes tend to extend inland, all the way to the old chalk cliff. It lay just outside the southern edge of the mediaeval Boulonnais and some eighteen kilometres (5.0 miles) south of the geological region of that name.
The dunes were established as the sea level rose during the Quaternary and show signs of habitation during the Palaeolithic. They had therefore stabilized at something like their present form by 2000 BC. The dunes to the north-west of the town have revealed Iron Age, Gaulish material.

Double S
by: Bill AndersonShe was sitting on a stool in a little bar called the Seldom Scene When I walked over and said hi introduced myself
And what's your name I asked she just smiled
She was wearin' a tiny gold chain with the initials SS on the front And I said wait a minute you are Susie Smith she shook her head
Okay you're Sally Simpson...Sarah and before I could finish
She put her hand on mine and said look it's not important
And I said okay I'll just call you Double S and she nodded
And I said what are you drinkin' Double S she said Scotch'n'Soda
And I said Okay Double S one Scotch'n'Soda comin' up
You live around here I asked
No she said just killin' time till the morning
I got an early plane back to California I live near San Simeon
Oh and you'll be flyin' on a 7-0-7 no doubt I said
How did you know? she asked oh I guess I'm just super-smart
You gonna spend the rest of the night in this bar Double S
No she said I have a motel room I'm at the Surfing Sand
Can I give you a lift thanks
I rented a car but I don't drive it too well she answered
It's a stick-ship haha Double S you are something-special I said
And paid the town and we walked out in the cool evening breeze
She said across the seat and snuggled up close to my side
And I began to run my fingers through her hair
It was soft'n'silky. I opened the door to her room
My lips found her lips and I held her close
And whispered you are a super-sexy lady she simply smiled
I could feel her body slowly soften as her sensuous soul
Swiftly swept me into sublime serenity
Her plane left just as the morning
Sun began to softly streak the starry sky
She kissed me a soft solyuna waved a sultry so long from the window
And I never saw Double S again
Right now she's soaring somewhere above the clouds
And I'm walking home on one
And I just realized I never did find out what Double S stood for
