Summary "Le littoral de la France, vol. 1: Côtes Normandes de Dunkerque au Mont Saint-Michel" by V. Vattier d'Ambroyse is a detailed geographical and historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the French coastline from Dunkerque to Mont Saint-Michel, discussing its maritime significance, ports, industries, and the surrounding natural landscapes. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the vital importance of the French coastal regions in Europe, emphasizing France's maritime advantages and potential for greater naval presence. Vattier d'Ambroyse sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of various harbors, coastal geography, and the historical developments that shaped these regions, beginning with Dunkerque, which is portrayed as a strategic naval base historically contested due to its crucial location. The narrative promises to illustrate significant interactions with neighboring nations and highlights the resilience and industriousness of the French maritime community, paving the way for an in-depth examination of France's coastal heritage.
