The Petit Blanc-Nez is a cliff in the Pas-de-Calais region and is part of the Deux-Caps (Two Capes) area, which also includes Cap Gris-Nez. Both are part of the protected area classified as a Grand Site de France and offer breathtaking views of the English Channel and, on a clear day, the English coast.

Cliffs of Escalles and Wissant

Highlight • Natural Monument

A steep, bikeable trail leads down to the beach below the towering white cliffs. A Blockhaus in good condition sits along a sidetrail in the cliffs high above the water level. As the beach faces Nordwest, summers have great sunsets.

September 18, 2025,Cap Blanc - Nez und Kreidefelsen 😎🫶😍🇫🇷

Then we went to the chalk cliffs. Hiking 🥾 is easily possible here. The landscape is stunningly beautiful 🥰. The visibility could have been clearer. The chalk cliffs are the northernmost in France 🇫🇷. The English Channel and ferry crossing are beautiful to watch 😛🙂
