European Heritage Days: The Hauts-de-France Coastline in Focus

The European Heritage Days, scheduled for September 19 and 20, 2026, will highlight the Hauts-de-France coastline through a series of exceptional visits.

This annual event is an opportunity for the public to explore places that are usually less accessible or to take a fresh look at familiar sites.

Among the proposed visits are a typically discreet castle, a fort overlooking the English Channel, a nuclear power plant, a unique hunting lodge in the Bay of Somme, and a monumental column erected in honor of Napoleon.

These varied locations, ranging from historical heritage to industrial structures, offer a diverse perspective on the region's coastal patrimony. This initiative encourages the discovery and appreciation of local heritage.
