the rocks of the Gris-Nez are being loosened by rain and sea.

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.

Incredibly beautiful paths - partly on wooden planks, partly through fine sand. A small, hidden natural paradise that can be wonderfully explored on a circular hike.

Bicycles are prohibited on the paths of Cap Gris-Nez. Bicycle parking at the entrance

You are never alone here, but there is enough room for everyone.
