Tips
While the inside of the defensive fortress might still be closed for renovations, the water moat and the walls reaching all around this strategic peninsula are quite well preserved.

At the 1.5 km long Grande-Plage, the isthmus between the former island of La Hougue and Saint-Vaast is completely taken up by the tamarisk-lined road and the dike. At the far end of the beach stands the keep of the fortress like a proud watchman.
