The best area to stay in Boulogne is the Old Town (Haute Ville), which is the historic, walled city centre.


The Old Town is perched on a hill, surrounded by ancient ramparts that you can walk along, offering panoramic views of the city and the coast. Within the walls, you'll find cobbled streets leading to architectural gems like the Basilica of Notre-Dame and the Château-Musée. It's a compact and pedestrian-friendly area, ideal for exploring on foot. Couples will find the Old Town particularly appealing for its romantic setting and historic ambiance.


For those looking for easy access to the beach and a more modern feel, the area around the beach and the Nausicaá sea centre is an excellent alternative. This district offers a selection of hotels with sea views and is well-suited for families. The proximity to the beach means easy access to seaside activities, and Nausicaá, one of Europe's largest aquariums, provides a full day of entertainment for all ages.

The best time to go to Boulogne is during the warmer months, specifically from May to September, when the weather is most pleasant for sightseeing and enjoying the outdoors.


During these months, you'll find average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, with longer daylight hours. This period is ideal for exploring the historic Old Town, strolling along the beach, or visiting the famous Nausicaá aquarium without the chill of winter.


For couples looking for a relaxed trip, late spring (May and June) offers comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds than the peak summer months. You can enjoy quiet walks along the ramparts of the Old Town, dine al fresco at local restaurants, and visit attractions at a leisurely pace.


Families often find July and August particularly appealing. While it's the busiest time, the warmer sea temperatures are superb for beach activities, and many local events and festivals take place. The longer days mean more time for exploring the Château-Musée and the various parks.


If you prefer a quieter trip with pleasant weather but still want to enjoy the outdoors, September is an excellent choice.
