The rocks, with their cracks and small caves in the calcareous wall, provide an important nesting site for numerous bird species such as jackdaws, house martins, fulmars, kestrels, gulls, terns and herring gulls. As part of a renaturation project in 2006, a section of the asphalt road leading to the summit and the parking spaces there were completely removed. Instead, a parking lot about 300 meters inland was significantly expanded.

If you love nature and breathtaking panoramas, Cap Blanc-Nez is for you. It is the northernmost cliff in France. Chalk and marl cliffs overlook the English Channel, and opposite you can see the White Cliffs of Dover. As you walk along the sandy beach at low tide, you can see Cap Gris-Nez in the distance.

Cap Blanc-Nez is an impressive cliff located in Escalles, Pas-de-Calais, France, rising to 134 meters above a rocky beach. It is the northernmost cliff in France, consisting of chalk and marl. It offers a strategic vantage point from which on a clear day you can see the cliffs of Dover on the English coast. The area supports a unique grassland and is a popular destination for tourists and hikers. It is part of the Grand Site des Deux Caps, together with Cap Gris-Nez, and attracts 2.5 million visitors annually. It also has historical significance, with remains from the Second World War still visible.
