As one might guess from its title this garden shifts and changes to suit the seasons and other events in town. During our last visit it was being dressed for Christmas and it was amazing to see the amount of work involved in getting everything ready. One can enjoy the gardens outside on nicer days or from the excellent Cafe de la Mairie if it is raining. Say hello to the little dog if you visit the cafe!

I have only superlatives about the aquarium. It has a lot of species, the personnel is very kind and supportive and you can learn a lot about the life underwater. What I have been impressed the most of? The great aquarium in the ocean part where you can see from small fish to sharks and a gorgeous Manta Ray. The sea lions show is also very impressive. There are a lot of other parts to speak about, but I think everyone who has the chance should visit the aquarium once.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful beach several years running. Each time, the weather has been very hot and not just warm. The sand is lovely to walk on and the beach is not dirty. I would certainly recommend a visit.

I’ve always considered Boulogne-Sur-Mer to be an underrated location. Some very good restaurants, bars....good aesthetics....interesting historically.... Came for a late morning stroll around this Promenade. Some really good views of the Old part of Boulogne....Notre Dame cathedral etc Some lovely vegetation and trees adorn the area, similarly, and it’s well worth an investigation, due to the scenery and views.
