Jean Bart's rise to fame
Corsair Jean Bart is the most famous son of Dunkerque, which is still proud of his heroic exploits on the high seas. Dunkerque's tough and adventurous 17th century corsairs helped Louis the Fourteenth beat France's many enemies. Without them, he could not have made Nord - Pas de Calais part of France.
