Meet at the Leffrinckoucke Dunes Fort, Rue du Fort, near the stadium. Large free car park available.
(S/E): Follow the footpath for 100 m towards the dunes and the beach.
At the railway line, there are two options:
- option 1: do not cross the railway line; instead, take the cycle route on your right to reach Zuydcoote,
- option 2: cross the railway line and take the sandy paths through the Dewulf dunes to also reach Zuydcoote; this is more picturesque but also much more tiring. Please note, there are no signposts.
(1) Take a moment to admire the architecture of the Nord farm on your right and the former sanatorium, now known as the maritime hospital, on your left.
(2) Before the Collège du Septentrion, turn left to reach the centre of Bray-Dunes.
(3) Leave the D947 at the bend and take the road on the left; turn into Rue du Large to reach the sea wall.
(4) Follow the sea wall to the left and continue along it until it ends.
Note: At low tide, head down to the beach; at high tide, take the paths through the dunes – there are still no signposts.
Continue along the sand, pass the row of blockhouses and, after the maritime hospital, reach the junction with theGR®120.
(5) Take this path, walking alongside the blockhouses once more, past the Leffrinckoucke battery. Take the red-brick boat access to reach the Leffrinckoucke sea wall. Turn right onto the sea wall and follow it back up to reach the water sports centre.
(6) Take the road on the left, Avenue Émile Loubet, which crosses the dunes towards Dunkirk Centre. Join the cycle route before the railway line.
(7) Follow it to the left to easily reach the car park at Fort des Dunes de Leffrinckoucke (S/E).
