The Caserne Varennes is a former barracks in the town of Gravelines, which is part of the Northern Department. The barracks were built in 1737, following the example of Vauban's. It is a large building with three floors plus an attic and could accommodate 600 soldiers: 12 people per room. Since the garrison consisted of 1000 people, there were also other barracks as well as pavilions for the officers. Before that, the soldiers were housed with the residents of the city, which regularly led to conflicts. Most of the other barracks disappeared after the garrison left Gravelines, but this building was preserved because it was converted into housing for the city's residents.
