Comment
French Flanders (or sometimes French Flanders) is the part of the former county of Flanders that is now part of France, and which traditionally consists of the northern half of the department of Nord, plus four communes in Pas-de-Calais (see Geographical extent below).Traditionally, French Flanders consists of two distinct parts:
to the north, the French Westhoek (or Flandre flamingante), where Flemish is historically spoken, corresponding largely to the former Ancien Régime province of Flandre maritime and the present-day arrondissement of Dunkirk. The main town is Dunkirk, but Cassel, Hazebrouck and Bailleul are also found here.
to the south, Romanesque Flanders (also known as Gallic Flanders or Walloon Flanders), which was the part of the former county of Flanders where Romanesque and later Picardy or French were always spoken. Romanesque Flanders is the most densely populated part of French Flanders, and home to its largest city, Lille, sometimes referred to in France as the "Capital of Flanders". The other main towns in Romanesque Flanders are Roubaix, Tourcoing, Armentières and Douai.
Since its formation in the 17th century, French Flanders has been one of France's richest and most densely populated provinces, having played a leading role in France's Industrial Revolution.
