Boulogne-sur-Mer / Calais
After Boulogne-sur-mer, La Vélomaritime takes you to the Grand Site de France des Deux-Caps. In Wimereux, admire the colorful Anglo-Norman style villas. Before reaching Cap Gris-Nez, the closest point to England, plan a stop at the Maison du Site des Deux Caps in Audinghen, a must for the discovery of this exceptional site. Take advantage of the magnificent viewpoints on the Cap Blanc Nez and the Bay of Wissant. Calais is worth the detour, take advantage of being on a bike to visit the city and discover the belfry of the Town Hall, the City of Lace or for an unusual trip on the back of the Dragon!

The route
From Boulogne-sur-Mer to Wimereux, take the cycle path along the RD940. To cross the Slack Dunes Sensitive Natural Area, cycle paths have been created between Wimereux and Ambleteuse.
Up to the entrance of Wissant, follow rural roads (accessible only to non-motorized transport and farmers). The northern and southern entrances to Wissant are not equipped for cycle paths, so stay on the RD940.
After Wissant, reach Escalles via shared paths, then rejoin the RD940 before Blériot-Sangatte, and then follow the cycle paths of Calais.
