Éperlecques Bunker & Dunkirk Dynamo Museum

World War II in the French Countryside Immerse yourself in France’s World War II history as you discover key wartime locations in its countryside. Drive through the scenic Flemish countryside and cross the border into France, where you will enter into the Éperlecques Forest to find its bunker. This imposing concrete missile launching facility was built by the Nazis in 1943 and put London within firing range. Walk around the facilities on your own to learn about its intended use and the bombings that rendered it obsolete. Next, continue on to Dunkirk, where you will savor a delicious lunch followed by a visit to the Dynamo Museum. View artifacts and hear personal accounts to gain an insight into Operation Dynamo, the infamous evacuation, where a range of seacraft, including civilian vessels, arrived on Dunkirk’s shores to rescue more than 330,000 cornered soldiers. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
