CAP GRIS-NEZ

Cap Gris Nez (literally grey nose cape in English) is a cape on the Côte d'Opale. The cliffs of the Cap are the closest point of France to England - 34 km (21 miles) from their English counterparts at Dover. Smothered in sea pinks and thrift, the cliffs are a perfect vantage point to see hundreds of ships from oil tankers to little fishing trawlers plying the waters below. On a clear day, the emblematic white cliffs of Dover on the English shore can be seen.
