    Formerly a boathouse, the Gravelines Rescue Museum exhibits the history of sea rescuers and uses a launching ramp. This site, essential to understanding rescue operations, allows you to discover the techniques and equipment used over the years.

    This old ship shed was converted into a museum about rescue work at sea. Models of boats, stories about major rescue operations, restored lifeboats and so on.
    Of the dozens of smokehouses, only one remains that brines, dries and smokes the fish on beech wood in the traditional way.

    Very cool historic 1937 rescue boat house with its own launch ramp used in earlier years by the coastal rescue brigade, now a museum.
