Here is the text of the commemorative plaque affixed to this Calvary:
“On September 7, 1947 his Eminence Cardinal Lienart Bishop of Lille inaugurated and solemnly blessed this Calvary of the Sailors and this Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes erected by public subscription by the piety of the inhabitants of Grand-Fort-Philippe in memory of their dead and in recognition of the protection of their patroness Our Lady of Grace during the 1939-1944 war.

Alexis Defurnes and Marek, two graffiti artists from Dunkirk, are currently covering the Minck, along the channel, with an 80 meter long fresco. (Le Phare, April 20, '21)
3 of the 4 sides of the town's fish market positioned on the edge of the AA channel have been decorated with huge frescoes. This is a commission from the city to the well-known graffiti artists of Toutspray Dunkerque: Alexis Defurnes and Marek.
Locals appreciate the reproduction of old photographs on the maritime heritage of Georges Maroniez. Alexis Defurnes:
The town of Grand-Fort-Philippe dedicated 3,500 euros to the project. Overall, 500 meters of frescoes will cover the entire building. The town of Gravelines also completed the request for a fresco on the channel side.
