Promenade and General San Martin Equestrian Statue

Highlight • Other

San Martin is a national hero in Argentina, but also an important figure for Boulogne! The statue of the Libertador stands behind the Sainte-Breuve embankment. And what a statue! This bronze statue on a stone pedestal shows the Argentine general on a trotting horse, with a flag in hand and at his feet: “The Republic” offering him a laurel crown. On the other side of the statue are various combat materials such as sabers, cannons and rifles. boulonnaisautop.com/en/boulogne-sur-mer-ville-d-art-et-d-histoire-dutch/boulogne-sur-mer-argentinie/the-statue-of-general-san- Martin

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.
