Head uphill to discover Boulogne-sur-Mer's historic side.
Start with the ramparts
The ramparts offer a different view of the town and gardens below the fortifications. Continue through a gateway into the historic streets.
Wear comfortable shoes: cobblestones and hills are part of the experience. Guests with reduced mobility should check access before planning their route.
Around Notre-Dame basilica
The basilica's silhouette rises above the rooftops. Explore its surroundings and nearby streets. For an interior visit or the crypt, check official opening information.
A walk at your own pace
Allow half a day if you want to stop along the way. Your plans will depend on your interests, chosen visits and the weather. Continue into the centre or along the seafront afterwards.
