Description by the author

9/08/2022

Cap Blanc Nez, 134 meters above sea level, with its chalk cliffs, beautiful views with even a view of the coast of England (on a clear day). The sobelissic granite commemorative, the Dover Patrol Monument, one of which is in Dover (England) and the other in Brooklyn (USA), can be seen from afar in the landscape in commemoration of the Royal Navy's "Dover Patrol" during the First World War. The obelisk was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1962. Start a walk in a very hilly landscape from the foot of Mont d'Hubert where there is free quiet parking for cars and motorhomes. You can shorten the route if you descend to the top of Mont d'Hubert (after 1 km) on the left towards the Obelisk.
