    Les Dunes de Flandre

    Discover the preserved nature reserves

    Along the sea, come and discover the preserved maritime and coastal areas that make this place a “Grand Site de France”. During a peaceful walk, admire the changing colours of our landscape, and enjoy the variety of views.

    During your walk, you will be surprised to see remnants of World War II, as bunkers, shipwrecks and fortifications appear on the beach or in the dunes.

    You can find these wild environments between Dunkirk and the Belgian border.

    Platier d’oye

    The 300 hectares of this Nature Reserve reveal a kaleidoscope of landscapes: wet grasslands, trails lined with sea buckthorn and dog-rose busches, a goose pond, observatories, a long sandy beach and more.

    These varied natural habitats are what make this site unique. Wether you’re in the mood for a pleasant walk or a long hike, this site is for you!
