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.

Fort d'Ambleteuse

Highlight • Historical Site

This fort is the only one left of the seven that defended the coast of Boulogne.
In 169, the English king James II, chased away by his subjects, came ashore in the already silted up harbour. When Napoleon planned an invasion of England, part of his fleet was located here. From the beach you have a view of the entrance to the port of Boulogne and in clear weather even of the English cliffs.
