In addition, and for more than thirty years, the first weekend of September has taken place the “Fête de la Nature et de la Flandre”, with a regional dimension. It has become a tradition over the years. Finally, Coudekerque-Branche belongs to the Blootland natural region, characterized by a flat landscape and the presence of numerous controlled canals.
