Hiking

Beautiful spacious beach with a good developed promenade to stroll.

Hiking

Wissant is located between Cap Gris Nez and Cap Blanc Nez and, in addition to the attractive promenade, beautiful beaches and gastronomy, still has a history as an artists' village. There are information boards all over the place about the formerly resident painters.

Hiking

The bay of Wissant presents its many faces to walkers. From the observatories located in the marsh, you can observe sandpipers and lapwing ducks. A path will take you to the top of the Motte du Bourg from where you will overlook the back-shore marsh of Tardinghen ... A breathtaking view of Cap Blanc-Nez, Cap-Gris-Nez and the marsh at your feet. In spring you will discover the gorse in bloom and breathe its aromas of coconut and monoi… escape guaranteed
