In 1943, a military base was installed by General Erwin Rommel, in charge of the defense of the Atlantic Wall on the Northwest. He transformed the beach into a vast construction site: minefield, construction of blockhouses, IEDs. in August 1944, following the landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the German troops were ordered to withdraw. they take the time to dynamite the lighthouses, destroy their installations and devastate the Hameau du Hourdel.

Cayeux-sur-Mer - Hable d'Ault

Highlight • Structure

The name Cayeux is derived from the Picardy cailloux (pebbles). Picking pebbles is therefore an ancient activity. They are mainly used in industry, where they are finely ground for sandpaper, grinding stones, filters, etc. The rarest type, the blue boulder, is used for the production of porcelain.
The chemin des planches, one of the longest plank paths in Europe (2 km), runs alongside the promenade of this climatic health resort, along with 409 wooden beach huts. The Plages de la Mollière stretches from Le Hâble d'Ault to Le Hourdel. Hiking trails have been laid out in the Bois de Brighton.
The contributions of Cayeux sailors and fishermen made it possible to build the Chapelle des Marins, a chapel dedicated to Mary, which was built in the 1960s. Note the original tympanum of artful carvings.
