Best places: Historical landmarks in Seine-Maritime

Gustave Eiffel's iconic, wrought-iron 1889 tower, with steps and elevators to observation decks.

Series of army museums including a church & the tombs of many famed officers, including Napoleon.

Napoleon is interred in this grand, 1677 Musée de l’Armée structure with a painted domed roof.

Bronze column standing as a war memorial, with bas-relief carvings topped by a statue of Napoleon.

👍👍 The ideal place to observe seals up close in the wild. When the tide goes out, the seals settle down on the sandbanks that form to sunbathe. ABSOLUTELY WORTH SEEING.

Public park, created in 1937, with sculptures & a central fountain featuring 20 water jets.

👍👍 Very pretty wooden pontoon, approximately 200m long, which juts out into the sea on the boundary between Capbreton and Hossegor. Very beautiful view from the end of the 2 beaches and the lighthouse. Accessible to families with children

Promontory jutting into the sea, known for its WWII bunkers, bomb craters & a soldiers' monument.

Paved open space anchored by a military monument & known for its dramatic views of the Eiffel Tower.

Architectural, naval & ethnographic museums, above fountains & gardens with Eiffel Tower views.

👍👍 Always amazing. Get an old military map that shows the length of each landing beach. Then stand on the beach and look up and down. The sheer magnitude of the invasion is almost beyond comprehension.

Restored 16th-century ossuary for plague victims with macabre carvings, plus fine art galleries.

Broad square with human rights monuments & views of the Trocadéro Gardens & Eiffel Tower.

😠 I'm writing this review in English for all of the English speaking people that may choose to patronize this beautiful LOOKING location. The shop girl refused to speak to me in French even though I speak French. We ordered cakes which are placed on square paperboard to make sure they stay put, right...

Modern 210m tower with panoramic views from roof terrace and 56th-floor observation deck.

Museum telling the story of the state archives & displaying significant documents, maps & images.

Modern copy of a replica of the New York Statue of Liberty made for the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
