A moment of history :
Breakwaters made from wooden stakes run the length of the Plage du Sillon beach, designed to protect the city from the relentless crashing of the waves. This unique system was developed in the 17th century in the aftermath of a storm that ravaged the ramparts. Today, 3,000 are still standing, and form an integral part of the local landscape.
