The UK people searching for a shorter gateway into the French Flanders could hop into any one of the Channel ferries and head to Dunkirk. With many beautiful Flemish towns as well as villages, spectacular sand dunes, well-maintained reserve park, speciality stores as well as 27-hole sports facilities, Dunkirk is definitely worth a visit. Most importantly, there's a lot more things in Dunkirk than wartime memorabilia. Situated in the north France of the Upper Coastline as well as near the end of the Strait of Dover, it is also near Belgium, another a popular destination for the travellers coming from the UK.
There are many gorgeous Flemish cities and villages to discover in and around Dunkirk. Travel to Buerger to see the ramparts of those 17th century or else towards Oye-Plage, which is hub of natural reserve. Vacationers must make a trip to the Dunkirk's seaside location, Malo les Bains which has 7 kilometres of golden sands. The area that extends up to Belgium's outer border has lots of vigorous restaurants as well as bars.
Apart from different important battles including the First and 2nd World Wars taking place in this location of France, there is more to view for historical buffs. Each of these War museums in the country is well maintained, thanks to good authorities' grants and subsidy. The War Graves, particularly is worth a visit.
Vacationers can travel towards the Rue des Chantiers de France in lower Dunkirk to truly enjoy a walk throughout the Le LAAC Carving Garden, which is next to present-day artwork gallery displaying worksof Andy Warhol, to name a few. On the same street is found the War Monument Museum, a testimony into the evacuation of 1940. If history of shipping attracts tourists, they can visit the Port Memorial over at 9 quai de la Citadelle in lower Dunkirk. Inside the memorial, tourists can learn more about France's third major ode port. They can also pick up wacky items, for example, posters of classic ships or alternatively taste the freshly-prepared fish soup here. Apart from seaport memorial, The Marina, there is a training ship accessible to viewers and a 1926-built steamer, Queen Elizabeth that was used in the evacuation of Dunkirk.
October is a great time to visit France as the spectacular views of the towns and villages become more highlighted by the gentle sunshine of autumn. This is also the season of grape harvesting with wine festivals held all around and the cool temperature outside will make the outdoor activities more pleasant and enjoyable. If you are concerned about your travel budget, let me tell you that both travel and accommodation cost become much more affordable in October than in summer and you can enjoy some great value offers on the flights, cheap ferry and hotels.
