Step back in time in the Concession District

The historic villa district known as “De Concessie,” dating back to 1889, is one of the best-preserved gems on the Belgian coast.
Thanks to a well-designed urban plan, the area still breathes the charm of the Belle Époque.
It features Anglo-Norman architecture: white villas with turrets, timbered façades and ornate details.
Highlights include Villa Savoyarde, where Albert Einstein stayed in 1933, and the current town hall, once the first luxury hotel with hot running water.
At the heart of the district lies Park La Potinière — perfect for a game of tennis or mini golf, or to relax in a cosy tearoom.
