Planned a day trip to France and last minute decided to book an activity to keep us entertained. Staff here were from the beginning via email very friendly. Today’s lesson with Nathalie was fantastic. Upon arrival we were briefed with all the options re equipment hire, after getting kitted out we prepped our yachts before an intro to sand yachting and wind direction. Great coaching & tips on how to improve - kids took to it like ducks to water, I was a little scared at times but Nathalie still convinced me to keep going & I enjoyed it! Great atmosphere & great tips! Would definitely recommend :-)! Would also recommend the ‘wet suits’ esp got winter/ autumn/ spring & if you want to go through water ????, as well as the shoes & possibly gloves. Goggles we were fine without. Would defo recommend & if you are English speaking - ask for Nathalie! Thank you for a superb afternoon!

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!
5. Basilique Notre Dame de Boulogne-sur-Mer
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 579 reviews
For 160 years, the Notre-Dame basilica has dominated the city with its vertiginous dome. It succeeds the medieval cathedral, destroyed in 1798, and owes its existence to a single man, Father Haffreingue. This modest priest, and amateur architect, devoted his life to the revival of a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Nautoniere, guardian figure of the city since the 7th century. Saint-Paul-de-Londres, Saint-Pierre de Rome and Saint-Louis des Invalides were his sources of inspiration.

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.

These days , and I understand the reasons...there are few moats surrounding ancient building that actually hold water in them! This one did not disappoint. There was an array of exhibitions on offer although I am sad the locality exhibition had been moved for the Egyptian exhibition. A huge variety of exhibitions to savour., I loved the underground area which was available to explore.

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.
