Escalles

Highlight • Settlement

Escalles is located in an evergreen valley and has a beautiful pebble beach with sand and rocks, surrounded by numerous hiking trails. On clear days you can see the English coast from Escalles.
The village has approximately 228 inhabitants.
Escalles attracts tourists with its views of the hinterland. The main tourist attraction is Cap Blanc-Nez, the northernmost cliff in all of France, classified and a member of the Great Territories of France. This cliff, made of rocks and chalk marl, rises to 134 meters high and is home to impressive flora and fauna.
The village dates back to the time of the Roman conquest.
In the center of Escalles you will find three restaurants and a hotel.

Access to Sangatte Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach is accessible at the end of all perpendicular streets and is worth a little detour. The sea wall created a well-paved 2.4 km walking path along the beach. Out of season it's quiet enough to ride.

End of Sangatte seawall - Start of natural beach

Highlight • Beach

2.4 kilometers long and 1.50 wide, the Sangatte dyke is a protective structure against the sea. Open to walkers, access to the dyke is at the level of the town hall and several paths. To the east, after the end of the dike, the coast and the dunes still remain in their natural state.

Monument du Tunnel

Highlight • Other

This monument is a tribute to the builders of the Channel Tunnel, the engineering marvel that connects France and England under the sea. There you will find the drilling unit which sits in the middle of the roundabout. You can also discover the Maison du Patrimoine, a museum which presents the history of the tunnel and the prehistoric discoveries made during its construction. The monument is located near the Coquelles terminal of the tunnel.
