Tour of the Boulonnais (Pas-de-Calais)

Starting in Peuplingues, the trail winds through the Caps et Marais d'Opale Regional Natural Park, first plunging into the bocage countryside, linking Hames-Boucres and Desvres, famous for its earthenware, through rolling landscapes of forests and verdant meadows. In Wierre-au-Bois and La Capelle, the limestone architecture bears witness to a rich rural past. As you approach Ambleteuse, the scenery changes dramatically: hikers discover the coastline and its historic fort perched in the sea, before reaching the magnificent sites of the Grand Site des Deux-Caps. The coastal path then leads to Audinghen and Wissant, a pearl of the Opal Coast nestled between Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez. Nature is wild there, between shifting dunes, aero-haline grasslands and vertiginous chalk cliffs that overlook the strait, offering breathtaking views of the English coast.
