The 'Cliffs of the Cape' is the closest point of France to England – 34 km from their English counterparts at Dover.Gris-nez literally means "grey nose" in English. It is derived from colloquial Dutch "grey cape"; officially, the Dutch name was Swartenesse to set it apart from Blankenesse "white cape" to the northeast. The element -nesse is cognate to English -ness, denoting "headland", as in for example Dungeness or Sheerness.
