Broxeele (Dutch: Broksele) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.
It is 20 km (12 mi) south of Dunkirk and also 20 km (12 mi) west of the Belgian border.
Name
The name is derived from the Dutch Broec sele (modern name: Broksele), which means "house (with one room) in the marsh" (in 1072: Brocsela). The name Brussels has exactly the same etymology.
Broxeele and Brussels are sister cities and the city of Brussels has given a replica of Manneken Pis to Broxeele.
