Explore Dunkirk

Visiting Dunkirk means discovering a city unlike any other! The city’s history began around the year 800 when it was a small fishing village. Over the centuries, the commune has evolved to become a medieval city and then one of the main military ports of Louis XIV before being devastated during the Second World War. Fortunately, Dunkirk was able to rebuild itself to become the warm and welcoming city it is today, attracting thousands of tourists every year. Today, this unusual past can still be seen throughout the city with remarkable monuments. Its belfries are also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
