The Escale

Only 1 hour from Lille and at the crossroads of major European capitals, Dunkirk is known for being the^3rd largest French port but also a festive city with its famous annual Carnival.

Your stopover in Dunkerque will be a real relaxing interlude, alone, with family or friends. Cultural walks around the many museums and tourist sites, multiple sports activities and the large beach of Malo-les-Bains make the city a destination for everyone. You’re sure to find an activity that suits you!

The FRAC Grand Large museum is located nearby, as is the Grand Large footbridge, which takes you to the beach in five minutes.

The location of the youth hostel l’Escale allows you to easily reach the city center, the port and the beach. The free bus network of Dunkerque serves our establishment. The train station is only 10 minutes away by this means of transportation.

When you return from your walk or at any time of the day, you can enjoy the relaxation area. On the top floor of the establishment, overlooking the sea, a TV lounge, a library and a rest room are at your disposal to recharge your batteries.

Special seminar offer: On this floor, there are also 3 meeting rooms that can accommodate from 40 to 120 people.
