29,62 km cycling route from Gravelines to Dunkerque
Leaving the fortified town of Gravelines, your Vélomaritime cycling adventure leads you to France's third largest port, Dunkirk. Known to the French as the home of naval adventurer Jean Bart, it has a major maritime heritage, celebrated at its Musée Portuaire and with its tall ship, Le Duchesse-Anne. Also do visit the Musée Dunkerque 1940 - Operation Dynamo, as well, of course, as the town's belfries, part of a regional UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Travellers’ reviews
Très agréable sortie de Gravelines et pas beaucoup de chemins partagés avec voitures. Par contre aucun balisage ou symbole qui indique le chemin a suivre, impossible a trouver sans le GPX.
