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.

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.
