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.

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.

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.
