The city stretches along the English Channel coast with a fortified upper town and a lower town containing the fishing port and commercial district.
Romans established their main port for British trade here in 55 BCE, naming it Gesoriacum before it developed into a medieval stronghold.
The 12th-century belfry, recognized by UNESCO, stands as a central monument demonstrating the architectural evolution of northern French defensive structures.
