From Sangatte to Wissant along the cliffs

Take the RD940, passing the Sangatte cemetery where a car park is available.
You can set off from the hotel in Sangatte and leave your vehicles at the finish point in Wissant.

(S) Set off facing the sea to reach the departmental road; follow it to the left for about a hundred metres, then cross over to join a path heading towards the sea. This path, known as the Route du Littoral, soon turns left and runs along the cliffs. Join the Chemin du Tour du Calaisis near a small car park.

(1) Cross the track leading to the Cap Blanc Nez monument and continue along the path opposite, which runs closer to the coast and leads to the Cran d’Escalles.

(2) Continue to follow the cliffs, taking care not to get too close due to the risk of rockfalls. Pass Petit Blanc Nez, then walk along the beach from the hamlet of Strouanne. You’ll reach Wissant beach.

(3) Turn left onto the^GR®128(marked with red and white signs) and carry on until you reach the small square with the Hôtel de la Plage and the old harbour on your right (E).

You can get water at the starting point at Sangatte cemetery.
There are several restaurants in Wissant.
Bring a cap and sun cream in summer.
