ABOUT GRAVELINES

Land of stones and history, Gravelines and les Rives de l’Aa welcome you at the Opal Coast.

Here you will discover history: the ramparts and the walkways of the Vauban city, the museum du dessin et de l’estampe originale devoted to original prints, the stone walls of the prison of Bourbourg where the cries of the prisoners still resonate, the restored gothic choir of the Saint Jean-Baptiste church.

Les Rives de l’Aa are also a land of sports and leisure for all with the PAarc’s nautical stadium, the Sportica’s sports centre, the Jean Binard’s water sports centre, and the equestrian centre.

Finally, les Rives de l’Aa, land of nature, you will be amazed by its numerous public gardens and parks such as the Galamé park in Loon-Plage, or even the Platier d’Oye nature reserve.

Gravelines is a perfect mix of history and modernity, sport and culture, nature and architecture.
