Cran aux Oeufs Cliff

Highlight • Beach

This cliff owes its name to its atypical shape, similar to giant rock eggs. From here you have a beautiful view of the coastline and the limestone cliffs of Dover.

Beautiful walk with two faces, first the seafront and the countryside on the way back. Signposting difficult to find from the Cap Gris Nez car park

Hike on coastal paths where meadows, fields and vestiges of the Second World War mingle. Magnificent viewpoints!

From these paths, you can reach the Cran Poulet, a sort of cut carved into the cliff, facing the sea. A relaxing crossing point that you can discover on foot.

According to the weather report, the mercury would climb towards 30 degrees on the Flemish holiday, so I decided to behave like a climate refugee without embarrassment. I wanted to drive just over the French border, where it should have been a pleasant 21.5 degrees.
