Dunkirk and Saint Valery-Sur-Somme

Time to leave Brugge, but not before a canal boat ride around the city which was a nice way to end our stay. Then it was back to the car and heading to Saint Valery-Sur-Somme on where the Somme enters the sea.

Our yummy lunch on the beach at Dunkirk


Sesame baguette, goats cheese, avocado and basil and olive tapenade- yummy


Beach at Dunkirk

We stopped at Dunkirk where we went to the actual beach where the British where evacuated in 1940. There is no memorial there but it was a lovely beach and we enjoyed a lovely picnic on the promenade.

Then we headed to Saint Valery-sur-Somme where we are staying the night. It has an old medieval town. There is a nice walk along the beach, but the town itself was very quiet.
