history
The community of origin is bouillon. In 1881 Mr. Armand Jullou and Mr. Dupuy decided to buy a large dune zone on the coast with the support of other private individuals. We owe them the casino and Notre Dame church. After the establishment of a company, the plans for the place were drawn up (large straight streets, houses, hotels). The seaside resort was founded in 1882.
In 1972, Saint Michel des Loups merged with Bouillon and the official name of the parish became Jullouville. It was named after Armand Jullou.
A town hall was inaugurated on May 24, 1976, and the community services moved here from the old rooms in Bouillon.
