Visit Villers-sur-Mer - The Greenwich Meridian
Villers-sur-Mer, the entry point of the Greenwich Meridian in continental Europe, has the distinction of being the only French coastal resort located on this Meridian.
Renovated in 2016, the meridian is materialized by a line on the rounded overhang of the central dike just after the casino and by a luminous ground marking at night.
A simple trick to locate Villers-sur-Mer on any map of the globe: the town is located at the exact intersection of the zero meridian and the French coast.
