Stumbled upon this article while planning a trip to Boulogne Sur Mer and these Airbnbs sound fab! Particularly interested in the one with a terrace overlooking the sea – sounds like a dream.
The one with the terrace overlooking the sea caught my eye – the idea of waking up to such a view sounds absolutely divine. I’m curious, though, how easy is it to get around Boulogne Sur Mer from these locations? Is public transport readily available, or would renting a car be a better option?
The city is quite accessible, and most of the Airbnbs listed are conveniently located, making it easy to explore on foot, especially if you’re staying in the city center. Public transport is available, with buses serving the main areas, though it may not cover all tourist spots comprehensively. If you plan to explore the surrounding areas of the Opal Coast or prefer more flexibility, renting a car would indeed be a good option. Hope this helps, and have a fantastic trip!
Just stumbled upon your article on Airbnbs in Boulogne Sur Mer – what a fantastic find! I’m particularly drawn to ‘Le Petit Paris’ with its Haussmann-style design and close proximity to the beach and Nausicaä.
Thanks!
