    Picturesque polder village with historic ramparts and a pretty windmill. Too bad to just go by with the bike!

      Quiet place on the border with Belgium. Nice gastronomy.

        Retranchement - the French word for entrenchment - was founded in 1604 by Prince Maurits (Moritz of Orange) after his capture of the town of Sluis, at the mouth of the Zwin estuary - the former connection between the North Sea and the now Belgian city of Bruges - against Spanish forces to back up. Remains of the fortifications Oranje and Nassau are still visible (Wikipedia).
