The Pays de Flandre stretches from Dunkirk to Lille and from Ypres to Saint-Omer. The Flemish hills, which cross the area from east to west, give the landscape its distinctive character and exceptional charm. Nature has retained its authenticity through the centuries, while numerous battles have left a lasting mark on the region’s history. Under English, Spanish, Dutch and French rule, this area never stopped defending its identity. Today, its traditions continue to be passed down from one generation to the next.
