  Great place for foot passengers. I used to love the restaurants and bars in the old town when P&O Normandy Ferries were in operation.

  Much nicer place to visit than Calais and there is not that long traipse from the port to the town. Whether a service is viable in these days of super ferries is open to question but if successful both of the towns would benefit.

  I used to love my day trips to Boulogne courtesy of Sealink, especially as they were all free, the free trips to Calais were never as enjoyable.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Dover - Boulogne ferry? It's not going to happen.
  
  Leaving Restaurant 'le Chatillon' gloriously free of UK riff-raff when I sail over.
