Heh! Heh! Walter, you are great on the levity today. I suppose you'll expect me to name the place. Razz Paris?

Smalle, Letty much smaller.

<In medieval times, this place was famous for serge cloth from locally-grown linen flax.>

Well, Walter, this isn't on my map, but is it Angers/Anjou?

No, even smaller - and in the North of France.

Though it isn't on your map - it most certainly is is on one in a history atlas :wink:

One final guess, Walter, than I must make a call. Lille? I will have to check out a history atlas, buddy.

Two very, very old windmills are at this place.

One was restored in 1993 on occasion to an anniverary of something which took place near this town so-and-so many years ago.

Lille isn't that far away - but as said: it's a small town


Lille: 240,000
place: 4,000

Hondschoote.

Quote:
The battle of Hondschoote in 1793 was a key event in saving the French Republic after the Revolution. The English king sent an army via Flanders to capture Dunkerque as key invasion port to rid the country of revolutionaries. They were joined by troops from Hanover and Austrians from neighbouring Austrian Flanders. The foreign invaders were beaten by a French volunteer army in a fierce patriotic battle near Hondeschoote, where the windmill was a look-out post and first-aid station.
