Boulogne
Channel ferry destination
Boulogne is a port city in northern France on the English Channel, formally Boulogne-sur-Mer.
It appears in historical contexts as a staging point for cross-Channel travel and invasion plans: Napoleon assembled his army at Boulogne.
The Bois de Boulogne is a large park in western Paris, often shortened to simply Boulogne in that context.
