The main street in Wissant ![]() Fishing boat ![]() The fishermen bring the boats right into the centre of the village. You can buy the fish straight off the boats It dose not get much fresher than that. The village has the usual mixture of shops, cafes and restaurants. I also notice some hotels and B/Bs you could rent a Gite as well. The tourist office was helpful and spoke English.
Old mill ![]() An old mill in the village centre as been turned into a heritage centre. Inside the mill is pinewood and cast iron machinery. You can smell the wax and flour from its working life.
