Stepping into history

For centuries, neighbouring countries have been trying to conquer our shores. Then again, it’s easy to see why our destination was so appealing!

Its strategic location made it the scene of numerous conquests, traces of which can still be seen today.

From Vauban’s fortifications to the bunkers built in 1940, the people of Dunkirk are always happy to share the stories behind them — and, above all, the secrets of a destination shaped by a turbulent past.
