If you are staying in boulougne sur mer then a trip to the historic town of Montreuil should be on your list. Fantastic medieval city walls that are free to roam around on. Picturesque tower. For an entrance fee you are able to enjoy the once formidable fortress. Parking by the church inside the city walls is best.

We spent a good two hours visiting the Citadelle and thoroughly enjoyed the very informative commentary and the music on the free audio-guide. The exhibition about the bats was interesting but only in French. The First World War rooms provided excellent displays in French and English with clear texts and photos although the lighting had stopped working in one area. We would highly recommend visiting the Citadelle.

The people at the desk of the Tourist info are very kind and helping. But most interesting here is the start of the 3 km walk along the rampart, offering a great view on the city and (especially) the landscape outside the city.

Montreuil has found overnight fame after finishing runner up of "France most beloved villages". This abbatiale being the city center landmark, it's one of the few places that ought to be visited in the city center, although unimpressive. Entrance is free, so there's nothing to regret once you've closed the door and left...

7. Statue Equestre De Douglas Haig
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 18 reviews
Standing in front of the municipal theatre, the equestrian statue of Field Marshal Douglas Haig (Commandant-in-Chief of theBritish Army during the Great War) is one of the few reminders of the pivotal role played by the peaceful town of Montreuil during the Great War. This statue was made in 1931 by Paul Landowski, the french sculptor of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.
Reviewed By nnmercman - Camberley, United Kingdom
As Commander of British Forces on the Western Front during the Great War, Haig established his Headquarters in the town and this mounted life size statue is a tribute to those facts. Facing the market square from across a small fountain/water feature this well maintained statue is a credit to the town for keeping it in such good condition with not a sign of ill informed graffiti. It's unfortunate the lettering on the base of the plinth is not very well picked out and so difficult to read.

Personnellement j ai préféré ce petit théâtre en forme de cirque d hier italien a la statue. Une architecture atypique. Il fonctionne comme cinéma mais ses jours sont peut être en danger ( journal du jour). Il faudrait y installer un petit café pour mieux le faire partager
