Boulogne Ferry Port Information
Boulogne is situated on the north coast of France a short distance across the channel from Dover and just 30 km from Calais.
Boulogne sur Mer still has a very strong fishing business and in 2009 became the real alternative to Calais for short sea crossings.
The town centre can be reached easily on foot in just 5 minutes. Once in the centre you can't help but notice the 14th century cathedral a reconstruction of that in Notre Dame. Within the town there are numerous restaurents, bars and shops, a tourist information centre and if you venture out of town along the coast you can visit many fine sandy beaches.
Once at Boulogne road links to the rest of France are excellent with direct access to the A16 connecting you to France's extensive road network, making it an ideal destination from which to explore the rest of France.
