Slack Estuary
Highlight • Other
Although the Slack is modest today, it was much more imposing in the past, when the gravel was mined near the fort. At the time of the Camp de Boulogne, between 1803 and 1805, Napoleon had even thought of bringing his fleet here. Suffice to say, the Slack was something else!

Fort d'Ambleteuse
Highlight • Historical Site
In 169, the English king James II, chased away by his subjects, came ashore in the already silted up harbour. When Napoleon planned an invasion of England, part of his fleet was located here. From the beach you have a view of the entrance to the port of Boulogne and in clear weather even of the English cliffs.
