    The current church, built in 1778, is the third, the two previous ones having been buried by sand. The first church would have been built around 1190, at a place called "the colonies" north of the old house "Jasper". The low cottages of the village
    surrounded him. The port was frequented by a fishing fleet which sheltered at the "Grand Gouffre" (name of the port which was still in operation in 1698).
    Following the gradual invasion of the hamlet by the sands and several devastating storms, the village was forced to move further inland, far from this often raging sea, but above all to escape the effects of the sand.
    blown away by angry offshore winds. A new church was built in the "Dune Carrée".
    The dunes not being fixed yet, the wind continued its work. It carried away the sand which settled and piled up slowly to form other dunes which advanced patiently but inexorably towards the village.
    They end up submerging and stealthily burying the houses. The church was not spared. Stubborn and obstinate, the inhabitants gradually built new houses, almost all of cob and thatched roofs. The hamlet moved
    East this time. And a new church, the third, was built on its site
    current, a few years before the Revolution (1778).
    The sacristy was only added in 1846
