Grand-Fort-Philippe

Highlight • Other

The main activities have always been linked to fishing (ropemaking, smokehouse, shipbuilding). Two museums keep that memory alive. Maison du Sauvetage and Maison de la Mer.
Of the dozens of smokehouses, only one remains, which brine, dry and smoke the fish on beech wood in the traditional way.

Leaning Tower

Highlight • Structure

The Leaning Tower of Oye-Plage is a German blockhouse from the Second World War, designed to imitate a church steeple and mislead British aviators. Located a few kilometers north of the real bell tower, it resisted post-war demolition attempts, remaining tilted about twenty degrees, hence its nickname.
