Clock Tower and Guînes Frescoes

Highlight • Historical Site

The tower has been perched on the hill of the feudal motte-and-bailey castle since 1763 and offers a view of Calais, the Côte d'Opale, the Flemish plain and the bocage around Boulogne. At its foot is an interactive museum dedicated to the past of Guînes: the arrival of the Vikings, the founding of the city by Sifrid around 800, the meeting at the Camp du Drap d'Or.

Hôtel de la Plage and the Pond, Wissant

Highlight • Lake

In the artists' village of Wissant, a school of naturalistic plein air and genre painting emerged in the 1880s and 1890s, becoming known for its depictions of the village, the landscape, and the everyday lives of fishermen.

The painters of this École de Wissant included Virginie Demont-Breton (1859–1935), her husband Adrien Demont (1851–1928), Pierre Carrier-Belleuse (1851–1932), and Fernand Stiévenart (1862–1922).

Francis Tattegrain (1852–1915) also spent his summers here.

Stunning road from Wissant to Cap Blanc-Nez

Highlight • Other

Beautiful wide road which offers a view of Cap Blanc Nez and the North Sea in the distance. A bit of car traffic but that's acceptable.

The main tourist attraction is Cap Blanc-Nez, the northernmost cliff in all of France, classified and a member of the Great Territories of France. This cliff, made of rocks and chalk marl, rises to 134 meters high and is home to impressive flora and fauna.
The village dates back to the time of the Roman conquest.

End of Sangatte seawall - Start of natural beach

Highlight • Beach

2.4 kilometers long and 1.50 wide, the Sangatte dyke is a protective structure against the sea. Open to walkers, access to the dyke is at the level of the town hall and several paths. To the east, after the end of the dike, the coast and the dunes still remain in their natural state.
