Nestled on the French coast of the English Channel between Calais and the Belgian border, Dunkirk combines France’s third largest port with glorious sandy beaches, a rich maritime heritage, and tempting restaurants to satisfy any taste and budget.

This summer, the town will be in the international spotlight following the launch of a new epic movie from Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight trilogy.
