Tucked along France’s North Sea shoreline near Dunkirk, Zuydcoote is a place whose character is shaped by the coastal dune belt behind its broad sandy beach. The commune lies on the low-lying Flanders coast, where dune grassland meets the open horizon of the North Sea. Its name is closely associated with the Second World War through Robert Merle’s 1949 Prix Goncourt-winning novel Week-end à Zuydcoote, set during the Dunkirk evacuation. More than an urban resort, Zuydcoote remains a small coastal commune defined by space, wind and maritime weather.
