Saint Pierre Park

Calais, Opal Coast

About this place

The park takes its name from the former municipality of Saint Pierre, which, after merging with other towns, gave rise to our beautiful town hall, which commemorates this union. And it is right across from this building that we find ourselves in this space dating back to 1963—let yourself be tempted by a stroll that offers more than just a lush green setting.

The park holds many surprises, such as the “Three Graces” Fountain—a stunning bronze fountain installed when the park opened—a sculpture by Mougin, and an aquarium area open to all where you can discover aquatic flora and fauna.

There’s also a bit of history to explore at the blockhouse, a former 94-meter-long bunker that now serves as the Museum of World War II Memory.

This rich and varied park promises an afternoon filled with discovery and relaxation.

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.
