The restoration of a direct cross channel link between Dover and Boulogne is playing an important part in the continued plan to regenerate the UK visitor market to a town and port held in the affections of British visitors for many years.

Ongoing improvements are being made to improve the appeal of the town itself, the medieval city centre, tourist attractions, boulevards, shops, restaurants, hotels and the town generally. These include:

• the charming Old Town (Haute Ville) developed as a total touristic area
• major refurbishment to the Chateau Musee in the Old Town
• renovation of many of Boulogne's traditional houses
• new look to the daily fish market stalls on the Quayside Gambetta
• full programme of summer festivals and events in the town
• attractive covered pedestrian walkway on the first bridge (Pont Marguet) linking the port to the town
• long term projects include the construction of a new ferry terminal, opening of more luxury category hotels in Boulogne
• an autoroute link road from the port connecting with the A16 to Paris and entire French motorway system

Boulogne-sur-Mer and neighbouring Etaples have a deep-rooted fishing tradition which has contributed to Boulogne being named as France's "First Fishing Port". Herring is the traditional fish, which is served in numerous ways : salted, smoked, marinated or simply grilled. The Herring Festivals in November are the best time to try it.
