Fort d'Ambleteuse

Highlight • Historical Site

This fort is the only one left of the seven that defended the coast of Boulogne.
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.

Todt Battery Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

Musée batterie Todt is a museum housed in one of the four bunkers of the batterie Todt, a coastal battery built by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. The Todt batterie was located near the French village of Audinghen, on the Channel at Cap Gris-Nez. The batterie consisted of four guns with a caliber of 38 centimetres, which could fire on England. The museum is located in casemate 1, also known as Turm I. It contains an original cannon and a collection of objects, documents and photographs about the history of the Todt battery and the Atlantic Wall.
