I forgot to mention the village names...

Groot Moerhof is located in the municipalities of Ghyvelde/Gijvelde
(F) and De Panne (B).

The Maerestraat and Cabourgweg (not Cabourweg, that was a typo)
pictures are also between those two municipalities.

The canal picture even contains a tripoint (wow!): the Belgian side
is De Panne, the near French canal bank is Ghyvelde/Gijvelde, and the
far bank is Bray-Dunes/Bray-Duinen. Ghyvelde/Gijvelde is in the
canton of Hondschoote/Hondschote, Bray-Dunes/Bray-Duinen is in
Dunkirk-East. So a quinary tripoint... ;-)
