The Nez de Jobourg is one of the most spectacular natural sites on the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. Located at the north-western tip of the Manche department, near La Hague, this rocky promontory offers breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding landscapes. Points of Interest: Imposing Cliffs: The cliffs of the Nez de Jobourg, among the highest in Europe, reach up to 128 metres in height. These dizzying walls plunge directly into the waters of the English Channel, creating a breathtaking landscape. The contrast between the steep cliffs and the blue expanse of the sea below is striking. These cliffs are made of metamorphic rocks that are over 2 billion years old, making this place a geological site of great importance.

The Pierres Pouquelées are a Neolithic covered walkway dating around 4500 BC. There is a beautiful view of Vauville and the Manche The covered walkway faces north-west/south-east. Very ruined, it is currently 14.50 m long for an interior width of about 1.25 m and an exterior width of 2.40 m for a height under the table of 1.20 m. The entrance appears to be sideways to the southwest. The slabs are in quartz sandstone, except for two cover tables which are in granite and probably come from a site 3 km away, located at sea level. The covered walkway was excavated in 1755, before the covering tables were removed, by the Royal Academic Society of Cherbourg. At the beginning of the 19th century (around 1830), the cover tables were recovered by the inhabitants in order to build a bridge. Alerted, the sub-prefect of Valognes ordered it to be put back in place, but the blocks were simply deposited on the site: they are certainly those lying on the ground a few meters from the alley1. A good part of the orthostats disappeared in 1833.

Who undertakes the hike with a dog: Dogs (even on a leash) are not allowed in the nature reserve. Unfortunately, this was not mentioned in our hiking guide, so we had to switch to the beach, where you are not allowed to be with the dog at certain times. So it's best not to walk here in the high season and in the middle of the day.

Hugely high dunes. From the parking lot at the beach you have a nice view up. How big and steep they are only becomes apparent when you climb them. We were glad we took the climb at the beginning of the hike and not at the end.
