First, the solutions to the most recent questions:

  1. The towns are all in France, except Aix-la-Chapelle, which is the French for Aachen in Germany; aix means ‘water’, from Latin ‘aquas’
  2. L’Escaut in France, crosses into Belgium, where it is known as de Scheldt
  3. ‘Vasistas’ is a small window above a door to let in light, in English often known as a ‘transom’; etymology is Was ist das? (German)

Now the final four:

  1. The flat part of your hand links to two European towns; name all three words
  2. Which Polish town is linked to dancing?
  3. Which Italian town name is made up of a very common fruit?
  4. 20  1000; a town in Italy.

Further rebuses

1. The solutions to More Crackerjack !
