Cap Blanc Nez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
