Memory trails

Follow in the footsteps of the Second World War through the authentic landscapes of Terre de Flandre. In partnership with local associations and the Fédération Française de Randonnée Pédestre, the Tourist Office has designed a series of four remembrance trails, combining historical discovery and nature walks.

The four guidebooks invite you to explore :

• Esquelbecq, Ledringhem and Wormhout, focusing on the events of 28 May 1940, in connection with Operation DYNAMO
• The Bergues – Quaëdypre – Socx triangle, in the footsteps of the fighting and military remains
• The Hondschoote area, also marked by the dark hours of 1940.
• Thereare ten or so communes for which the topographical guide recalls the main events of the Second World War.
