La Motte du Bourg is a high point which once housed a medieval castle and which offers a breathtaking view of the Regional Natural Park of Caps et Marais d'Opale. At the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the two capes, Blanc-Nez and Gris-Nez, and of the White Cliffs of Dover of the English coasts if the weather is clear. This summit deserves that we go there running and that we take the time to appreciate the view before continuing our journey.
