During World War II, the German armed forces built several strategic defense installations along the west coast. These installations served to monitor the English Channel and provide coastal defense. Remains, such as cannon foundations, are still visible today.

Hiking
On the occasion of such a gun emplacement, which once secured the coast here, the following sentence from the French writer Victor Hugo (1802 to 1885) comes to mind: "One day, cannons will be exhibited in museums, like old torture instruments are now, and people will be amazed that such things could ever have been used." If only this vision of his had already become a reality! Then there would be no need for the many 'Monument aux Morts' with which villages and towns, far and wide, commemorate their inhabitants who lost their lives in war.
