Quend (French pronunciation: [kɛ̃]; West Flemish: Kent) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France. The inhabitants are known as Quennois.
Quend is situated between the estuaries of the Somme and the Authie, with the D940 connecting to the A16 motorway. Quend is a commune of several villages and hamlets (Monchaux, Routhiauville, Quend-Plage-Les-Pins and more).
Quend's church is dedicated to Saint Vaast, bishop of Arras in the 6th century. The steeple, which can be seen from miles around, was used as a triangulation point when creating the map of France. On 15 March 1905, lightning struck the steeple.
Quend-Plage-Les-Pins was razed during the Allied invasion of France in 1944.
Since 2005, A film festival has taken place at Quend-Plage-les-Pins.[4]
