The whale is the pride of Luc sur mer, since its stranding in 1885 we have had the chance, to the delight of young and old, to discover its immense skeleton in the Municipal Park. On the night of January 14 to 15, 1885, a 40-tonne whale, 19 metres long, stranded on the shores of the Côte de Nacre, at a place called "Brèche du Moulin".
