3. Cap Blanc NezWissant Cap Gris-Nez is a cape on the Côte d'Opale in the Pas-de-Calais département in northern France. It is between Wissant and Audresselles, in the commune of Audinghen. The cliffs of the cape are the closest point of France to England – 34 km from their English counterparts at Dover. Smothered in sea pinks and thrift, the cliffs are a perfect vantage point to see hundreds of ships, from oil tankers to little fishing trawlers, plying the waters below. On a clear day, the emblematic white cliffs of Dover on the English shore can be seen. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

D-Day, Normandy, Dunkirk and Beyond Day 5
It's day 5 of our cruise on the MV Discovery. We had sailed down the River Seine from Rouen the day before and had now arrived in Dunkirk. We visited Dunkirk Cemetery, Plaine au Bois where 50 British soldiers had been murdered by the SS in May 1940, the military cemetery at Esquelbecq and then the evacuation beaches at Dunkirk.
Ypres 2018 Part 2 - Ypres CWGC Reservoir & Tyne Cot Cemeteries and Menin Gate
In part two of our Ypres adventure we visit the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Reservoir Cemetery in Ypres and then take a short journey out to Tyne Cot Cemetery. A rather sobering day for us all which really drive home just how many brave soldiers fought for our freedom between 1914 and 1917 in the Ypres Salient. It is fantastic that these places still exist and are so well looked after for all of us to pay our respects.
We round the day off by visiting the Menin Gate Last Post Ceremony which bears the names of 54,000 soldiers who died in The Great War who have no known grave.
