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.

Great view of Hardelot

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.

At the top of Mont Saint-Frieux, you will discover a hidden gem of the Opal Coast, offering breathtaking views of the English Channel and the surrounding dunes. You will also enjoy panoramic views that extend to the cliffs of Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez on a clear day.

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.

Mont de Couple is the highest point in Boulonnais, at an altitude of 163 m. Along the way, you can admire the diverse flora and fauna of the nature reserve, as well as the remains of German bunkers from the Second World War. At the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the coast and countryside. You will also be able to see on your right the majestic Cap Blanc-Nez, which is slightly lower than Mont de Couple.

Very exciting place with a lot of history.
