Wissant,
the pearl of the Opal Coast
Beach and cliffs of Cap Blanc Nez. (copyright: Wikipedia)
Seaside resort known for its white sand beach, nestled between Cap Blanc Nez and Cap Gris Nez, France classified major sites, Wissant is the village for lovers of nature and relaxation (beach, hiking in the countryside, contemplation ...).
Its location is not the only reason that makes Wissant the tourist destination of the Opal Coast. The villas of the last century (like in Wimereux) and the small fishermen's houses give a special charm to the resort. And the village also mixes traditions, competitive sports and culture.
A small fishing village

Historically, the village of Wissant has always been a fishing port in competition with Audresselles for the best fishing areas. The rivality with its neighbor are from the past, but the people of Wissant haven't lost their traditions and celebrate every year, at the end of August, the symbol of fishing on the Opal Coast: the Flobart.
Typical stranding boat, also visible in Audresselles, you may meet one of them in the village, pulled by a tractor, or on the beach.
A fantastic kitesurfing spot

Surnamed by some the "Mecca of kiteboarding", the Wissant Bay is considered as the best kitesurfing spot in Northern Europe and as one of the main spots of surf and windsurf in France.
Benefiting of an ideal location for water sports with easy access and very favorable winds, the station even hosted over 2,000 fans of kite and windsurf on 10 and 11 May at the latest Wissant Wave Classic 2014 where 85 international riders competed.
An inspiration for painters

From the seafront or on the beach, let your senses overflow and you will understand why many artists have been inspired by these exceptional landscapes for their work in the late nineteenth century.
Fell in love with this Opal Coast between sky, earth and sea, illuminated by a special light, Adrien Demont and his wife Virginie moved into the station. A circle of students joined them to form the School of Wissant, lively creative school until the Second World War.
