However, those who prefer calm seas are catered for too. A lovely destination for families, couples and friends seeking peace and tranquillity close to nature.
Le Moule – history and heritage
There is plenty for history and heritage fans to enjoy : Musée Archéologique d’Edgard Clerc, church of Saint-Jean Baptiste (a listed building), Maison Coloniale de Zévallos, Usine Gardel, Porte d’Enfer, Maison du Crabe. Right by the sea you can find the remains of an ancient artillery battery which once guarded the harbour, as well as the ruins of the Wisosky factory. Finally, the Plage Porte d’Enfer beach is an absolute must to see, a beautiful, unspoilt cove surrounded by cliffs.

The evening market, which takes place every Wednesday from 16.00 on the Boulevard du Général de Gaulle, has local products and a lively atmosphere to tickle your taste buds and provide a feast for your eyes !
