Should add that the section from Calais to Dunkirk is dull as dishwater. I’d get the ferry to Dunkirk personally.
Riding down to Ypres and the WW1 memorial is really easy too and extremely moving once you get their and tour the battlefields and memorials. The 8 o’clock ceremony at Menen Gate is unmissable.
We did this as a club ride last year to mark the centenary of the armistice https://www.strava.com/routes/15787565
