More than 300 years after the arrondissement of Dunkirk, together with other parts of the County of Flanders, had to be ceded to France, and more than 200 years after the use of Flemish as a language in official services was banned under Napoleon, there are still many traces of that Flemish past to find back.
The names of the villages (Boeschepe, Steenwerck, Hazebrouck, Hondschoote, ...) often sound very Flemish, but some street names also form a bizarre sounding combination of French and Dutch. Rue de Confiscation...
Just as "strange" are the Flemish lions under a nameplate "Chez Marie".
