Excavations carried out before the construction of a car park on Mont d'Hubert, near Cap Blanc Nez (Pas-de-Calais), have uncovered the remains of a Middle Neolithic camp (4,200 to 3,800 years before our era). The camp, covering three hectares, surrounded by a ditch and visible from more than thirty kilometers away, has yielded remains of animal and human bones, ceramics and flints.

The bomb holes in the surrounding pastures still bear witness to the English bombings, particularly around Mont d'Hubert. Wild orchids abound in these vast limestone meadows... perhaps you will meet the Boulogne sheep in charge of maintaining these protected areas? As part of the implementation of the NATURA2000 objectives document, this itinerant sheep grazing is carried out each year from May to October. The EAFRD, by financing the shepherd position, allows 600 sheep to roam all of the lawns to restore natural habitats.
