A fortified and moated town extensively modified by Louis XIV’s military architect Vauban, Gravelines is a perfect place for strolls and picnics. Still surrounded by ramparts,
the well-preserved fortifications offer a unique insight into 17th century town planning. There are guided tours of the ramparts all year round,
whilst the moat is ideal for boat trips – you can either rent your own or join a guided tour. Gravelines has a long standing maritime tradition which is recounted in the town’s small
museums. This unforgettable resort on the Opal Coast is just 25 km from Calais.
