City:
De Panne is a municipality and hydro-bath city on the Belgian
coast. There is a population of 10,285 people. The name of the
community is derived from "'panne" or 'duinpan, a
bowl shape dent in the dunes. The region was already inhabited
as early as the fifth century. Points of interest are, of course,
the coast with a 2.5 km seawall and several nature reserves
like the reserve at Westhoek (Dutch for "west corner").
