context_section_description: The Côte d'Opale is a French coastal region bordering Belgium, situated opposite the cliffs of the south-east of England, facing the English Channel and the North Sea.
  The Côte d'Opale extends over 120 kilometres (75 mi) of coast between the Belgian border and the border with Picardy.
  The Côte d'Opale contains varied landscapes like beaches, dunes, swamps, estuaries or cliffs.
  The Côte d'Opale is marked by the presence of two big cliffs situated between Calais and Boulogne: the Cap Gris Nez (literally grey nose cape in English) reaching 50 metres (160 ft) and the Cap Blanc Nez (literally white nose cape in English) reaching 132 metres (433 ft). They are the closest points on the French coast to England.
