From the Opal Coast, on a clear day, you can see the English coasts with the naked eye! It must be said that only about thirty kilometres separate France from England. For the past twenty years, ferries, the Channel Tunnel and the Eurostar train have facilitated exchanges. But the history of love and disenchantment between the two countries goes back much further.
