We drove into Boulogne in the morning, parking in the city centre. We
went to a baker for croissants and pains au chocolat and had them for
breakfast in the campervan.
Then we walked along the port through the
fish market and along to the nautical centre.
We then climbed a hill,
where we got a great view and could see the white cliffs of Dover.
Next
we went to the Basilica in the old town. There was a mass going on, so first we visited the massive crypt.
By the time we'd been round the crypt the mass was finished, so we went round the Notre Dame Basilica itself.
After this we walked round the ramparts and had lunch. By now it was hot
and sunny and stayed that way most of the day.
We visited the Belfry
and got a free guided tour. It had a sculpture park in front of it too, devoted to the five senses.
Next was the castle museum, which was
included in our crypt ticket. We went round its moat too.
We passed this mural in the town.
We walked through the fair, which was
busy.
Later we went for a drink at a bar near the seafront. After
driving back to the site we sat out in the sun for a bit before dinner,
pasta and sauce.
