Cape Gris-Nez
Cape Gris-Nez
Information
Cap Gris Nez (literally 'Cape Grey Nose' in English) is a cape on the Côte d'Opale, in the Pas-de-Calais département, in northern France.
It is located between Wissant (Whitesand - originally Witzand) and Audresselles - originally Auderzele, in the commune of Audinghen (Odingham).
The cliffs of the Cap Griz Nez are the closest point of France to England - 34 km (20 miles) 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, one can see the emblematic white cliffs of Dover on the English shore from the cliffs on the Cap.
