Summary
[edit]DescriptionPas-de-Calais, Cap Blanc-Nez vista (2010).jpg |
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_Blanc-Nez Cap Blanc Nez (literally "Cape White Nose" in English) was a cape on the Côte d'Opale, in the Pas-de-Calais département, in northern France. The cliffs of chalk are very similar to the white cliffs of Dover at the other side of the Channel in England. Cap Blanc Nez is no longer a cape but a cliff that is topped by an obelisk commemorating the Dover Patrol which kept the Channel free from U-boats during World War I.
Le cap Blanc-Nez est un cap situé à Escalles dans le Pas-de-Calais, à 10km de la ville de Calais. C'est la falaise la plus septentrionale de France. Il est constitué de falaises escarpées, constituées de craie et de marne. Ces falaises s'élèvent jusqu'à 134 m de haut (151 m selon le Conservatoire du littoral) au-dessus d'un estran rocheux. C'est un des sites emblématiques du Parc naturel régional des Caps et Marais d'Opale, qui constitue l'un des lieux-phare du « Grand Site des Deux Caps ». La falaise supporte une lande herbeuse, d'une qualité liée au sol et aux vent et embruns salés. Ces pelouses herbeuses sont entourées de grandes cultures et sont localement marquées par des séquelles de guerre (cratères de bombes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale). Par temps clair, on peut y observer distinctement les falaises des côtes anglaises, le Cap Gris-Nez et la baie de Wissant au sud-ouest, la plaine flamande au nord, les collines du Boulonnais à l'est. L'orthographe actuelle n'est pas conforme aux anciennes dénominations. Au xviie siècle, on l'appelait le Blannest. Si la première partie du nom désigne bien la couleur, la seconde partie -ness ou -nes est issue du vieux saxon naes qui signifie promontoire. |
