Hiking

Located near the town of Audinghen, the Cap Gris-Nez lighthouse illuminates the Pas de Calais coast. The first lighthouse was built in 1861; this tower was electrified in 1869 and was destroyed by the Germans in the summer of 1944. The tower was rebuilt on the old walls in 1952. The lighthouse has been a listed building since 2010, and the CROSS Gris Nez is located at its foot.

The lighthouse cannot be entered. But still a nice photo opportunity.
