Translated from French-The Citadel of Vauban makes the Port de Plaisance Vauban Gravelines a popular tourist stopover, especially for the Dutch and the Belgians. Between freshwater and saltwater, river and maritime, Gravelines is a real gateway to tourism, with a wide variety of nautical leisure activities and a rich maritime heritage. The marina is made up of three sites grouping 430 sites (rings), including 25 rings for visitors. It is anchored in the shelter of the wind near the city center, in the heart of a site fortified by Vauban, called "Bassin Vauban" 200 rings. The other two sites are "Anse des Espagnols" 78 rings and "Quai des Icelandais" 152 rings.
Gravelines is a commune in the Nord department in Northern France. It lies at the mouth of the river Aa 15 miles southwest of Dunkirk. It was formed in the 12th century around the mouth of a canal built to connect Saint-Omer with the sea. .
