Cap Gris-Nez Viewpoint

Highlight • Other

This sandstone and clay cliff offers you a breathtaking view of the English Channel, Cape Blanc-Nez, and the bay of Wissant.

On a clear day you can see the White Cliffs of Dover. It is the closest point to England. The strait is an important crossing point for many species of migratory birds.

Great view of the chalk cliff

The cliffs are worth a trip. Whether up above or down along the beach. There is a lot to discover.

Wissant Seafront Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

At high tide the sea covers the entire beach of Wissant where the waves crash on the rocks bordering the new seafront dike where it is good to walk there in summer and winter.

A few cafes, ice cream parlors... allow you to refresh yourself on the terraces offering you a view of Cap Blanc-Nez on the right and a breathtaking view of the tip of Cap Gris-Nez on your left.

On the way back, the tide had gone out, so we were able to walk where the water had been.
Don't let anyone think we'd been swimming 🤣

Actually a very nice tour - but we did it at the wrong time.
Because parts of the route can only be walked at low tide, which unfortunately was not clear from the map section or the description.

Parts of the specified route no longer exist because of the unstable edge of the coast or may no longer be hiked …
