Free access, the dome shall be the priority to an after catacombs- which are unique and well organized and maintained- extraordinary place with atmosphere and which you can see and feel. Very beautiful and the is well a visit. Modern museum explaining the of the basilica and it's surrounds. The will definitely take up more time to look around than the above. The route to take you around the is well - designed and you learn lots about the of the and region from Roman times onwards. The exhibits and information boards in the tell a story where it helps you understand their significance as you go around. Amazing piece of history, well kept. If you are visiting the Castle as well a combined ticket is cheaper. The was interesting and very large. The combination ticket giving entry to it and 2 other museums is great value at 11 euros. Very good cathedral. In the historic centre of Boulogne. Nice walk around it. Such a beautiful place. We had the opportunity to see it just before closing and it was it for a few minutes. Definitely will definitely be coming back soon. Can't tell you how cool this place is. Gotta just go see it. Lots of wows all the way round. If you love this is amazing. Even easy for the unsteady on feet. The you need to pay to visit. But the itself is free. What a stunning place 😍 We visited the and the church. The cost 6€ for adults and free for kids under 18. I can really recommend paying for the crypt, soo special🤩 The have the most beautiful tower, to see 😍 The dome within and outside of this remarkable building is impressive. Inside it’s amazing to stand directly underneath and wonder how they built such things in the day. This area of Old Boulogne is wonderful to walk around with cafes and shops to visit. The ramparts are impressive as great for walking the dogs. Well a hour of your time to and parking is available right in the centre of the old town behind the notre dame building and within the city walls. Beautiful interior . Free entry The Cathedral Notre-Dame is absolutely a visit. The itself is grand and impressive, with a unique and restored dome that really sets it apart from other cathedrals I've seen. What truly stood out, though, were the crypts underneath—also recently restored and incredibly atmospheric. The scale and detail of the underground chambers are breathtaking and give a real sense of the and depth of the place. A must-see if you're in the area! Stunning!! So peaceful and well maintained. Could do with the information desk/shop to be at the entrance instead of the exit! No toilet facilities I have seen neither which always helps. It is lovely to a that is open to the public. Something that you rarely see in England unless it is a big city. Stunning architecture! Free to enter and the perfect peaceful pause for a day out in the city. The is a must see. You can still see the amazing paintings on the walls, the paint still preserved. We didn't actually go in the cathedral on this particular as we had a day trip to France and went on to Berck, however we did have a very nice coffee in one of the many coffees dotted around Boulogne old town. It's well a visit, typically French and all of the bars and cafes in this area were very friendly and accomodating! The cathedral itself is beautiful and surrounded by lovely gardens. There was some sort of flower display/festival going on during our which was great to see. There's plenty of free parking around the outside of the old town and everything is easily accessible. Be aware that some of the streets are fairly steep if you have buggies or wheelchairs, but there are not many steps so is still accessible to all. There are also plenty of toilets in case you get caught short, but I highly recommend popping into one of the cafes for a coffee and using their facilities - one of the nicest coffees I've tasted and very reasonably priced! Visited 02/12/24 as we have many times before to enjoy the peace and wonder at the creation of such a cathedral and to light a candle for passed loved ones. Sadly, however, we were harangued by a ‘pastor’ asking for change - followed us around so closely I felt too frightened to open my purse to light a candle - no one official around. Can’t see us visiting again which is very sad to us .
