A breath of sea air in Boulogne-sur-Mer: the Nausicaá aquarium, the fortified upper town and the scenic road to Cap Gris-Nez.
Boulogne-sur-Mer, France’s leading fishing port, offers a varied day full of sea air. Nausicaá, the national sea centre and one of the largest aquariums in Europe, is visited on level ground, with plenty of benches in front of the large tanks. The upper town, encircled by 13th-century ramparts, is home to the UNESCO-listed belfry and the domed Notre-Dame Basilica. In the afternoon, the coach takes the coastal road to Cap Gris-Nez, where the English cliffs can be seen on a clear day. A fish or mussel lunch completes this outdoor day, with no long walks.
