1st August - Our last day, spent exploring Dunkirk and Gravelines just outside Petit Fort Philippe, both as it turned out very beautiful. Dunkirk ad everyone is aware was the site of the evacuation of the British and French troops in the second world war. Gravelines dates from much earlier, creating a fort in the 17th century to protect the country from attack. We took a boat around the moat of the old fort. Tomorrow we catch the ferry back to the UK, I will post a summary of the trip tomorrow when we get home. In the meantime some pictures from today, and finally our selfie in front of the fort at Gravlines.
