Mouriez (French pronunciation: [muʁje]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.[3] in the south of the department, with a surface area of 1,572 hectares[_citation needed_] between the Canche and Authie valleys, in the southern foothills of the Artois hills. Mouriez is 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Montreuil-sur-Mer.
The village is located at the bottom of a dry valley with a depth varying from 40 to 60 meters and incising an interfluvial plateau.[4]
In addition to the village, the village is composed of three hamlets, two of which are located on the surrounding plateau: Bamières (to the east), and Lambus (to the north) near the national road 39 (RN 39). The hamlet of Rachinette (to the southeast) is nestled in the bottom of the vaux Roux and the Goulaffre.
