Equidistant from Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer, separated from the English coast by a 35km-wide strait, Wissant, pronounced "Ouissant" or in old Dutch Wit-Sand meaning white sand, is the ideal spot for surfers, but also the perfect playground for walkers. The 12km route winds its way through beaches and rolling meadows to the majestic white chalk cliffs. The area's temperate climate and unspoilt coastline attract many lovers of nature and the great outdoors. Try your hand at kite surfing with experienced instructors at the Wissant school. Book a Clévacances chambre d'hôte in the village and wander through the "Dédales d'Opale à Wissant", a giant corn maze full of enigmas. A fun, interactive experience for young and old alike.
A holiday resort at the end of the 19th century, Wissant was a magnet for artists and painters. An atypical villa built in 1891 by one of these artists stands out in this modest village: "Le Typhonium". This Art Nouveau and neo-Egyptian residence is a listed historic monument and can be visited on Heritage Days. Wissant has not been spared by history. A village scarred by both wars, you can still see a former German submarine beached on high tide days. Don't miss the Atlantic Wall Museum in Audinghen (Audinghen) or the 39/45 Museum in Ambleteuse (Ambleteuse). Book a bed and breakfast and discover the history of local artisanal fishing in a former flour mill: the mill museum adjoining the beach hotel, where the atmosphere of a bygone past hovers.
A small village with a thousand activities, outdoor or memory, Wissant satisfies all holidaymakers. Whether you're contemplative or super-active, a stopover in this pretty village is a must. Grand Site de France, the Deux Caps is an exceptional place to discover on foot or by bike from Sangatte to Wimereux. Visit Europe's largest aquarium Nausicaá in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The ceramics museum in Desvres or the fine arts and lace museum in Calais. Don't leave without gourmet breaks in Wissant. The restaurants here are highly rated. Seafood at La Chaloupe, the Green bistrot, bistrot gourmand or Chez Nicole, café d'antan sans chichis and many others. Discover, breathe, stroll, wander, hike, taste… During your holiday in your Clévacances B&B in Wissant, simply take your time.
Wissant in the Pas-de-Calais welcomes you and accommodates you wherever you wish: in the heart of the village, a few metres from the beach or right next to the hiking trails…
