2. Cap Blanc NezWissant Cap Gris-Nez is a cape on the Côte d'Opale in the Pas-de-Calais département in northern France. It is between Wissant and Audresselles, in the commune of Audinghen. The cliffs of the cape are the closest point of France to England – 34 km from their English counterparts at Dover. Smothered in sea pinks and thrift, the cliffs are a perfect vantage point to see hundreds of ships, from oil tankers to little fishing trawlers, plying the waters below. On a clear day, the emblematic white cliffs of Dover on the English shore can be seen. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Soldier Monuments in Albert France
Whilst on a visit to the Somme battlefields I stopped off in the town of Albert. As a monument to the soldiers who fought in the battles in the areas during the First World War there are a number of statues have been erected throughout the town. These include a French soldier (in from of the train station), a Scottish piper, an Australian and a British 'tommy' (around the Place d'Armes) and a German soldier (in the Jardin Public Arboretum).
The backing track was created using Garageband with the musical loops Courier Strings, Longing Strings 02 and Skyline Piano.
