Fort des Dunes, located in the dunes of the North Sea coast in the French municipality of Leffrinkhoeke, is a historical site built in the late 19th century. Designed by General Séré de Rivières, the fort was constructed with the purpose of defending the east of Dunkirk against potential enemy attacks. The fort's strategic location in the dunes, which could not be inundated, allowed it to block the access route through the dunes.
