|
| Emerged from the North Sea, drying sands and vases of river origin, the village of LOON is concretized at the end of the 11th century
In 1889, to avoid any confusion with Laon, the council decides the name change of the town which will be called "Loon-Plage". A few months later, the idea of creating a seaside resort on the beach of Loon-Plage emerges. In 1894, a casino is built as well as a hotel and cottages: it is the Clipon beach, new fashionable vacation spot where you can observe the comings and goings of wealthy people.
The Casino was dynamited by the Germans in 1940. |
