The fishing port, located at the mouth of the AA, is driven by daily entrances and exits of the vessels (fresh fish at each tide). Its history is linked to that of Gravelines, as well as its economic development. His name recalls that in the th century, at the time of the Spanish occupation, a fort was built on the right bank of the estuary called, in honour of the patron of the Spanish kings, «Fort Saint-Philippe». His gaze on the sea is the origin of the boat of fishermen. To go to Grand-Fort-Philippe is the opportunity to walk on the pier to take a good dip of air and especially fishing. To discover the heritage of the municipality, the church of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, the calvary of the Sailors, the house of the Sea, the House of Rescue is to be visited. Don't miss the saurisseries! These craft companies, located close to the fishing port, transform by salting, drying and smoking in wood fire such as herring, mackerel, halibut, sprats or salmon…
