20의 닐레스-레-칼레가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Beautiful and exciting in any season. The view of the English chalk cliffs is also fantastic, weather permitting.

Mont de Couple is a small hill 163 meters above sea level. Its summit offers an exceptional view of the hinterland and the town of Wissant. In good weather, you can see the Strait of Dover, the White Cliffs of England, the Boulogne hinterland, and the Calais region.

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.

The obelisk crowns a 133-meter-high ensemble on a pedestal that can be seen from afar. It is THE landmark to reach to enjoy a 360° panorama from the top of the cliffs of Cap Blanc Nez. When the German army took possession of the Opal Coast in May 1940, this monument was immediately destroyed. The current Dover Patrol dates from the early 1960s. The last restoration took place in 2007. Source: https://www.calaisxxl.com/de/offres/a-voir-a-faire/monument-a-la-dover-patrol/

The Cap Blanc-Nez War Memorial (Dover Patrol Monument) is a major war memorial erected on the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez, near Sangatte. It honours the British naval forces and the Dover Patrol, a key unit of the Royal Navy that secured the Straits of Dover during the First and Second World Wars.

The Petit Blanc-Nez is a cliff in the Pas-de-Calais region and is part of the Deux-Caps (Two Capes) area, which also includes Cap Gris-Nez. Both are part of the protected area classified as a Grand Site de France and offer breathtaking views of the English Channel and, on a clear day, the English coast.

The Belvedere at Cap Blanc-Nez combines breathtaking views, remarkable nature, and moving war history. Ideal for a short stroll or as part of a longer hike along the Côte d'Opale. There is a parking lot near the Cap Blanc-Nez viewpoint and the Dover Patrol obelisk. (GPX coordinates: 50.924566672947996, 1.715753582037452)

An impressive backdrop when visibility is good.
