Cucq ({{IPA|fr|kyk}}; unofficially also: Cucq-Trépied-Stella-Plage; {{langx|vls|Kuuk}}) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.[https://www.insee.fr/fr/metadonnees/geographie/commune/62261-cucq INSEE commune file] It is made up of three villages: Cucq itself, the village of Trépied in the north and the coastal resort of Stella-Plage to the west.

History

In 1937 the government sold 1600 hectares of the warrens of Trépied, land of the former domain of the Abbey of St. Josse that was confiscated at the time of the French Revolution, to Jean-Baptiste Daloz. Most of this area became better-known later as Le Touquet, a separate commune, in 1912.{{cn|date=December 2024}}
