Embry (in French pronounced as /ɑ̃bʁi/; Dutch; Flemish: Embreke) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.[2]
A village situated some 10 miles (16 km) east of Montreuil-sur-Mer at the D149 and D108 crossroads.
Some houses in the village are second homes, owned by British or Dutch families attracted by inexpensive property. The result has been to bring money into the area and old houses have been preserved by renovation.
Since 2007 a local society for the preservation of the Church (APSE) has been active in fund raising and in generally overseeing the Church's part in the village heritage.
