We know that the scientist Albert Einstein passed through De Haan during his flight from Germany in 1933. Einstein was at that time world-famous as he had received the Nobel Prize in Physics and had shaken the scientific world with his articles on the theory of relativity. As a Jew and a convinced pacifist, he fled from the horrors of the rising Nazism in Germany. In De Haan, he met the famous painter James Ensor. They dined there at the restaurant Au Coeur Volant on August 2, 1933. The Coeur Volant was torn down 15 years ago and replaced by an apartment villa. Opposite it is a small square where a statue of Einstein was placed a few years ago. The Coeur Volant was the only 2-star restaurant that De Haan had.
