At first sight it may seem a heap of scrap metal, but in fact these are the stripped remains of the British steamer “H.M.S.Crested Eagle” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk). The wreck is a tragic reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation: operation Dynamo. The Crested Eagle run aground on May 29, 1940 after being attacked by German dive bombers and set on fire, killing 300 soldiers and crew.
Operation Dynamo: between the 27th of May and the 4th of June of 1940, some 338.000 mainly British, but also French and Belgian troops were evacuated from the beaches as they fled a German advance towards the coast. The rescue was regarded as a success but there were also around 90,000 killed, wounded or taken prisoner. During the operation 243 ships were sunk and the RAF lost 106 aircraft.
The shipwrecks on the beach of Zuydcoote can only be seen at spring tides. This shot was taken during low tide on April 1st, 2018 #BeachTips! #BVSBlue #LocalSecrets #Trovember #History

"We stayed here for four nights and had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully presented and equipped with excellent amenities. It's perfectly located for exploring the area — we visited Plopsaland, Veurne, Ypres, Bruges, and even made a quick trip to Ghent.Veurne, with its supermarkets and restaurants, is just a 10-minute drive away. There's also a brewery nearby, which unfortunately was closed the evening we planned to visit — something to look forward to next time!We brought our three...

"Schönes, authentisches Haus ganz im Thema der stillen Jahre. Dennoch sind alle modernen Notwendigkeiten vorhanden. Garten komplett eingezäunt. Wer schlecht schläft, sollte am besten Ohrstöpsel mitbringen, da die Schalldämmung nicht besonders gut ist. Aber das ist Teil des Gesamtbildes."

"Een heel klein huis te warm of te koud met een heel slecht afgezet stukje gras voor de honden"

Fridge, microwave, dishwasher, coffee/tea maker

5/5 Excellent

"Short one night stay before travelling on, we arrived very late but the reception staff was extremely friendly and understanding. We had a family room which was very spacious, clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable, a welcome treat after a long journey! The continental breakfast was also generous and delicious. Would definitely recommend a stay here, and no doubt we'll be returning! "

5/5 Excellent

"Only issue was using our navigation car system to access the hotel. It was telling us to drive the wrong way down a one way street. Very confusing, but was directing us to the parkade which was not easily visible. Little stressful. Had to park the car and walk to the hotel lobby to have things explained. Others were at the front desk with the same issue. But hotel is quite lovely!"
