France The cliffs of Cap Gris Nez

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Cap Gris Nez (literally "cape grey nose"; see § Etymology) is a cape on the Côte d'Opale in the Pas-de-Calais département in northern France.

It is between Wissant and Audresselles, in the commune of Audinghen.

The cliffs of the cape are the closest point of France to England – 34 km (21 mi) from their English counterparts at Dover. Smothered in sea pinks and thrift, the cliffs are a perfect vantage point to see hundreds of ships, from oil tankers to little fishing trawlers, plying the waters below. On a clear day, the emblematic white cliffs of Dover on the English shore can be seen. (Source: Wikipedia)
