Boulogne-sur-Mer

Administrative Port: Pas-de-Calais
County: Nord-Pas de Calais

Located in the English Channel near the English coast, the city is known for being the first fishing port of France and has been an important port linking France to England until the late twentieth century. Classified as a "tourist resort" it is commonly called the "capital of the Côte d'Opale" and it is the most important tourist destination in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais (after Lille) thanks to the important heritage history, its beach and those of neighboring villages as well as the national sea center Nausicaá (the most visited touristic site of the region).[1]
