  • A landscape of Bleriot Plage near Calais on the northern French coast, where the first-ever international flight between France and the southern English coast took place by the French aviator Louis Bleriot on 25th July 1909. He flew from the beach at Sangatte, to the cliffs at Dover to claim the prize offered by the Daily Mail. Nowadays, French families use the sand and dunes as a holiday beach destination using inflatable dinghies to paddle in the surf. The Bleriot crossing took 37 minutes in his aeroplane, Blériot XI, built in collaboration with Raymond Saulnier. It was powered by a 3 cylinder 25 horsepower (19 kW) engine.
