Eglise Notre-Dame

Reviewed By KevinSadler2364 - Leicester, United Kingdom

The eglise Notre Damn is a magnificent church, rebuilt following the damage it suffered during the war. The exterior architecture is superb and is equaled by the ornate decoration inside.

Le Beffroi de Saint-Eloi

Reviewed By PaulieG74 - Ghent, Belgium

The Cathedral still bares wounds of war, with it's bullet hole ridden front wall. Inside, a typical cathedral experience you can expect with any European Cathedral.

Espace Tourville

Situated in the port of Gravelines, halfway between Dunkirk and Calais, on the Opal coast, at the foot of Vauban’s fortifications, the craft village of Espace Tourville invites you to discover the construction site of the Jean Bart. A lot more than a ship, this maritime cathedral, emblematic of Louis XIV’s great navy, armed with 84 cannons, is being constructed thanks to the knowledge of the marine carpenters and blacksmiths, who are working in front of you, on the creation of this historic heritage, unique in France. An unusual and enriching activity that you can discover alone, with friends, or with your family.
