Cran aux Oeufs Cliff

Highlight • Beach

This cliff owes its name to its atypical shape, similar to giant rock eggs. From here you have a beautiful view of the coastline and the limestone cliffs of Dover.

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.

Varied walk where the cliffs and a bit of inland are on the turn. Afterwards we realized that part of the walk was closed. However, this was not well indicated from our direction.
