Tardinghen (French pronunciation: [taʁdɛ̃ɡɑ̃]; West Flemish: Terdingem; Picard: Tardinghin) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.[2]
Toponymy
Common to many French locales especially in the north, the etymology of Tardinghen is ultimately based in Germanic language roots.
Geography
Tardinghen is situated some 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of Boulogne, at the junction of the D249 and D940 roads, on Cape Gris-Nez. Parts of the coastline, forming the northern border of the commune, have receded inland at about 5 metres (5+1⁄2 yd) per year.
