Grande-Synthe, Administrative commune in Nord department, France
Located in northern France at an elevation of 2 meters, Grande-Synthe extends across the flat landscape of the Hauts-de-France region near Dunkirk.
During the 1980 administrative reorganization, a portion of Petite-Synthe separated from Dunkerque and merged into the territory of Grande-Synthe.
The municipal council maintains partnerships with Suwałki in Poland, organizing regular exchanges between residents to strengthen international connections.
The railway station of Grande-Synthe provides direct transportation links to major regional centers, while markets occur every Tuesday and Thursday.
The commune received recognition as a 'ville fleurie 4*' for its commitment to maintaining green spaces and urban landscaping throughout its territory.
