Marquise (French pronunciation: [maʁkiz] ⓘ) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France[3] about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Boulogne.

Part of the Flemish-speaking territory until 1346, Marquise became an English county under King Edward III after the battle of Crécy and the hexagonal bell-tower goes back to the English period.

In 1420, in the suburbs of Marquise, at Leulinghen, the church of which was divided by the French-English border, King Henry V married Catherine of Valois, daughter of Charles VI of France.

[4] Marquise received national media attention in autumn 2006 when the local police retrieved a painting by Maurice Boitel, stolen forty years before and taken out of France.
