    Hiking

    Traces of the Atlantic Wall, bunkers and gun emplacements can be found everywhere along the coast. Well-made display boards provide the information about the history.

    Hiking

    This stretch of coast was liberated by Canadian troops during the Second World War in the further course of Operation Overlord or Operation Undergo. Even today, the area around Cap Gris-Nez shows visible traces of the heavy bombing raids against this part of the "Atlantic Wall" in 1944. The section in question also includes the former German fort and gun emplacement Battery Todt.
