Fort des Arros refers to defensive units built by the Germans during the Second World War.
These fortresses and bunkers are built directly on the beach to protect the land from any intrusion.
Today, the bunkers are freely accessible but covered with paintings and other inscriptions which are of course not from the period.

All bunkers accessible. The Piscines were built before the war. The sprayed symbols are from the 50s Americans. Some can be explored by bike, others by foot only.

If you are interested in this part of history, a trip here is worthwhile. You should take 1-2 hours. There are sometimes guided tours during the season (also translated in German). The facility was uncovered again in private initiative and work, making many bunkers accessible. There is a brochure about the system in German, French and English.
