A shelter for a family fishermen
In December 1955, the newspaper Ouest-France opened a subscription to help families of fishermen who lived in miserable conditions.
The old blockhouses and the Redoute have become refuges and the newspaper gives the testimony of a family temporarily housed in the Redoute and one of whose sons was born in this place.
He was employed by the city later on.
They had found a small whale stranded next to the nautical club which they sold to the Astra company which left the bones there. They should still be there...
The electricity came directly from the Battery of Merville by cables that crossed the village and the dunes, installation left by the Germans.
At high tide the waves hit the blockhouse at the entrance to Chemin de la Redoute. In the neighboring blockhouses lived other families.
