Its goal was to mislead the English aviators who came to bombard German targets (those used visual reference marks to move); this false bell-tower could be confused more with that of the city, located a few kilometers at the South. Since the end of the war, one tried to cut down this building using explosives. That was not sufficient. Maintaining the tower is tilted of a score of degrees, from where its name.
  • the ornitologic reserve: Most of the dunes is now protected, the reserve can be visited (With or without guide).
