Sangatte

We found a safe and popular motorhome stopover in Sangatte, where we spent the final night of our Big Adventure! We visited the beach before dark and saw Great Britain in the distance!
There was a failed migrant crossing during the night. The police are on the beach and around the town rounding up migrants. They told us there were between 40 and 50 people on this boat! 

We saw a few of the migrants gathered together in the town.
