A 25 minutes walk and run from the port to the train station. Met a lovely guy who showed us the way to the train station. Thanks! There we entered a taxi to Dunkirk. Earlier checked the car rental companies for a car and opening times. The only possible company was Sixt. Booked the car online during the taxi drive to Dunkirk. The driver checked the online booking by a phone call at the Sixt station in Dunkirk. Nice guy, thanks! Arrived in time at the Sixt station.

During the drive, queues in Belgium on the A25, as Marie told us and she gave us advices to avoid these queues. Thanks Marie for this and the support to find possible trains to Paris Orly (there was a flight from Orly to Berlin) or Berlin.
