Cap Blanc Nez Cap Gris Nez

If you’re over on a day trip and you’re all shopped out after going to Cité Europe or the big wine/​beer hypermarkets, this is a great place to come to get away from all the madness. Think the White Cliffs of Dover but on the other side of the Channel ! There are fantastic views from the clifftop walks on a fine day (you can see the ferries and sometimes the English coastline) and you can follow the hilly walk down to the beach, where you can have a nice wander and even look for fossils near the cliffedge (just avoid the areas where signposts warn you about cliff-​falls !). Only bad news is you have to climb back up to the car park again at the end but there is an ice cream van/​waffle seller !
