Gardens of Liberty

Gravelines

The Jardin de la Liberté is a former 19th-century private garden that has retained all its charm. It features all the hallmarks of late 19th-century gardens: the gazebo, boxwood-lined paths, old rose bushes, the gloriette, and white arbors. The traditional floral displays give this site the air of a “guardian of traditions.”

The Dewulf Dune

Leffrinckoucke

Located on the northern coast east of Dunkirk, the 300 hectares that make up the Dewulf Dune make it one of the coast’s most remarkable natural sites, typical of the Dunes of Flanders. A mix of wooded dunes, wet dune slacks, and dry dunes, this area holds significant ecological value, despite its peri-urban location. Near the site’s entrance, the Fort des Dunes (a former fortified camp) showcases the area’s military history, with significant remnants still visible deep within the dunes themselves.
