Cran d'Escalles

Highlight • Beach

The Petit Blanc-Nez is a cliff in the Pas-de-Calais region and is part of the Deux-Caps (Two Capes) area, which also includes Cap Gris-Nez. Both are part of the protected area classified as a Grand Site de France and offer breathtaking views of the English Channel and, on a clear day, the English coast.

View of Cap Blanc-Nez and the Opal Coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you leave Cap Blanc Nez towards the beach or Escalles you will arrive at this panorama. The grassy cliff path is heavenly beautiful when you view it from here.

Arguably the two most famous capes of the Hauts-de-France and the Nord-Pas-de-Calais are Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez. Although they are geographically close to each other, they differ in their appearance, among other things:
Cap Blanc-Nez:
The name "Blanc-Nez" (white nose) refers to the light chalk cliffs, similar to the famous white cliffs of Dover. The coastline is steeper and more striking, with a characteristically light, white color.
Cap Gris-Nez:
The name "Gris-Nez" (grey nose) derives from the grey coloring of the rocks. It is mainly made up of claystone and sandstone and has a darker and less steep coastline.

Cap Blanc-Nez Viewpoint

Highlight • Other

The Belvedere at Cap Blanc-Nez combines breathtaking views, remarkable nature, and moving war history. Ideal for a short stroll or as part of a longer hike along the Côte d'Opale. There is a parking lot near the Cap Blanc-Nez viewpoint and the Dover Patrol obelisk. (GPX coordinates: 50.924566672947996, 1.715753582037452)
