The parkup for tonight was next to a windmill very close to the Belgium border

The village has a Mairie (townhall) of huge proportions

The church in the center of the village can be seen from miles around

The Mairie dates from the 16th centuary, the posters at the Base are for the upcoming EU elections

Hondschoote, Nord

Jun 3–4, 2024 in France ☁️ 18 °C

We driven our longest distance in France on this trip today. Heading north east to our stopover very close to the Belgian border. This area of France is largely agricultural and the main routes are quite industrial and not particularly inspiring. The latter part of the journey after a lunch stop was off the main route and much more interesting.
Hondschoote, where we are staying has a beautiful church and Mairie in the centre and we had a nice walk around. Our aire is by a sports stadium and an historic windmill. Just us here tonight, it's peaceful.Read more
