Boulogne

From Wikitravel

Jump to: navigation, search

Boulogne-sur-mer is a city and port in Pas de Calais.

Since the opening of the Channel Tunnel, ferry services from England to Boulogne have been reduced, so the city has fewer visitors passing through it. However, since it is only 20 miles from tunnel, travellers may find Boulogne a more interesting city to visit than Calais.
