A French army of some 7,000 men commanded by King Philip Augustus defeated an allied army of approximately 9,000 commanded by Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV.

La Coupole , also known as the Coupole d'Helfaut-Wizernes and originally codenamed Bauvorhaben 21 or Schotterwerk Nordwest , is a Second World War bunker complex in the Pas-de-Calais department of northern France, about 5 kilometres from Saint-Omer, and some 14.4 kilometers south-southeast from the less developed Blockhaus d'Eperlecques V-2 launch installation in the same area.

7. Cap Blanc Nez Wissant
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.

Longueur - 820 m. Largeur - 36 m.

Le boulevard de l'Alma est renommé avenue Bosquet en 1864 en l'honneur du maréchal Pierre Joseph François Bosquet.

Lorsque les troupes franco-britanniques montèrent le siège à Sébastopol, les deux divisions du corps de Bosquet étaient chargées de leur protection. L'intervention de Bosquet lors de la Bataille d'Inkerman (5 novembre 1854) permit d'assurer la victoire alliée. En 1855, le corps d'infanterie de Bosquet occupa l'aile droite des armées de siège, en face du Mamelon et de Malakoff. Bosquet conduisit lui-même ses troupes dans la prise du Mamelon (7 juin) et, lors du grand assaut du 8 septembre, il était à la tête de toutes les troupes. Il fut grièvement blessé lors de la Bataille de Malakoff.
