Javier Barriga Nudo

Highlight • Monument

Javier Barriga is a Chilean artist known for his hyper-realistic faceless portraits, which captivate the viewer all the more for the mystery they exude1. His work “Nudo” is a mural in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, which is part of the Street Art Festival in the city. The mural depicts a young woman with two braids, seen from behind, buttoning up her dress. There is also a silver Boulogne ring present as a nod.
Barriga's work is inspired by the great classical masters and he has been passionate about painting since childhood. He especially likes the Renaissance period. His goal is to create iconic work in his own style and art. The spectators can project their own interpretations and feelings onto the character, because it has no identity of its own. This is part of Barriga's artistic approach: he wants to share his work with people who do not consume art and empower them to create their own stories with his work.

Excellent museum and oceanographic research center, the largest aquarium in Europe. This marine environment discovery center, opened in 1991, is divided into two main routes: the historical exhibition "Des rivages et des Hommes" (Of Shores and Men) and the "Voyage en haute mer" (Journey into the Deep Sea) exhibition with its 10,000 m3 tank dedicated to recreating the ecosystem of Malpelo Island (which makes it the "largest aquarium in Europe"), as well as several small permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Boulogne-sur-Mer beach and its land sailing club

Highlight • Beach

Chars à voile are wheeled vehicles propelled by a sail. They are also used for a sport and leisure activity that consists of driving these vehicles. They are practiced on large sandy beaches and sometimes inland. The first known use of chars à voile dates back to ancient Egypt, where they were apparently built to transport and move materials quickly. The Chinese had wind-driven carts since the 6th century under the Liang dynasty, later mounting masts and sails on large barrows. The engineer Simon Stevin rediscovered the concept in Holland at the end of the 16th century by building a ship on wheels that carried 28 people over 75 km at an average speed of 37 km/h between Scheveningen and Petten on the beaches of the North Sea.

Crèche Point

Highlight • Other

The Pointe de la Crèche is a cliff. Here was the Fort de Terlincthum, which was built between 1806 and 1808 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte. It consisted of an elevation surrounded by a stone wall. This fortress has partly disappeared into the sea.
In 1879 a new fortress was built. It is the most northerly of four fortresses that were supposed to protect the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. The forts consisted of a barracks, an ammunition warehouse, some artillery platforms, and a well. The fortress was surrounded by a stone wall and a dry moat.
During the First World War, the fort was operational and also played a logistical role. The fortress was modernized during the two world wars. On May 23, 1940, the battery resisted the German troops, but had to give up the fight when the ammunition ran out.
The occupying forces took possession of the fort and fortified it in 1944. On 21 and 22 September 1944 the fort was recaptured by Canadian troops.

Panorama of the beach from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Pointe de la Crèche

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pointe de la Crèche is a nature reserve located at the northern entrance of Boulogne-sur-Mer. It is a protected area of landscape and cultural interest, made up of three parts: the point itself, the cliff and the plateaus, the natural and semi-natural meadows through which the coastal path passes, the old quarry now turned into a pond, and the fortress of La Crèche, a military heritage of the 19th century.
