Brimeux

Brimeux (French pronunciation: [bʁimø]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region in northern France.

[3] Brimeux is a village situated some 4 miles (7 km) southeast of Montreuil-sur-Mer on the D149 road, in the valley of the river Canche.

The village name first appears in 1042 in a royal charter and was then written Brivermacum, a Latin name from the Celtic for bridge.

Over the years, it has had different spellings such as Brivamagus, Brivomagus, Brimeaus (in 1153), Brimodio and Brimodium (in 1154), Brimaus in 1226, Brimeul in 1415, Brimeu by 1499, and finally Brimeux, in 1704.

Various objects of the Gallo-Roman era were unearthed during the construction of the railway station: coins; weights and the remains of a villa.
