Dunkirk, Port city in Nord, France
Dunkerque extends along the North Sea coast with a major harbor complex handling industrial cargo, containers, and passenger ferries to England.
The city changed hands between French, English, Spanish, and Flemish control until 1662, when France permanently acquired it through purchase from England.
The winter carnival features groups of masked participants dancing through streets while holding traditional umbrellas and performing specific songs and movements.
The public transportation network includes free bus services throughout the metropolitan area, connecting residential districts with the commercial center.
The municipality contains six merged former communes, including Malo-les-Bains, Rosendaël, and Petite-Synthe, each maintaining distinct neighborhood characteristics.
