Back      Cape Gris-Nez       Next

Cape Gris-Nez seen from the southern end of the Wissant beach.

The various bunkers of the so-called “Atlantic Wall” (2nd World War),
formerly built by the Germans (or rather their unhappy prisoners) on sand-dunes sixty years ago,
have now gradually collapsed onto the beach.
These ruins are an eyesore for locals as well as tourists.
Only some historians take an interest in them...
