A visit in the wind. At the heart of the fortified lock, the EOL Centre éolien is the very first visitor site entirely dedicated to the great adventure of offshore wind power.

Take a journey through the fascinating history of energy, from the first windmills to the wind turbines of the 21st century. Experiment, blow and pedal your way to a complete understanding of offshore electricity generation. It's a fun, interactive tour that's unique in France!

Self-guided tour (booking required): approx. 45 minutes.
Last admission: 50 minutes before the site closes.
