Excavations carried out before the construction of a car park on Mont d'Hubert, near Cap Blanc Nez (Pas-de-Calais), have uncovered the remains of a Middle Neolithic camp (4,200 to 3,800 years before our era). The camp, covering three hectares, surrounded by a ditch and visible from more than thirty kilometers away, has yielded remains of animal and human bones, ceramics and flints.

Distant view: 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 bomb holes in the surrounding pastures still bear witness to the English bombings, particularly around Mont d'Hubert. Wild orchids abound in these vast limestone meadows... perhaps you will meet the Boulogne sheep in charge of maintaining these protected areas? As part of the implementation of the NATURA2000 objectives document, this itinerant sheep grazing is carried out each year from May to October. The EAFRD, by financing the shepherd position, allows 600 sheep to roam all of the lawns to restore natural habitats.

Superb panorama with a view of the sea and even Great Britain on a clear day.

Very exciting place with a lot of history.

A great place to relax and very interesting to visit the beach at different times. The tides are very exciting to watch.

It is the highest point of the Côte d'Opale from where you can admire the sea and the cliffs. A mix of paved roads and dirt tracks will take you to the top where you will find a monument and a viewpoint. On a clear day you can also see the English coast and Cap Gris Nez.
