Dunkirk & Ypres, April 2023 Part 1 

#Dunkirk #Ypres #Lille #World War Two #World War One
We drove to our destinations, Dunkirk in France and Ypres in Belgium via the Eurotunnel. Dunkirk is known for its evacuation in the 1940. The Dunkirk 1940 Museum is the place telling the history about the Battle of Dunkirk and the Operation Dynamo during the World War II. Dunkirk town centre is also worth a visit for its beautiful Town Hall, Cathedral, Bell Tower and the floating heritages. After Dunkirk we drove to Ypres in Belgium, the place where fierce batte was fought in the World War I. We visited the Hill 60 and the Tyne Cot cemetery that both witness the massive damage and huge human loss brought by the war. It makes one feel sad and humble after these visits. We spent the night in a hotel in Halluin, France near the Belgium border, but we needed to travell to Lille for dinner because most restaurants were closed. Hope you enjoy the video about the mentioned places.
