How to Get to Boulogne

Trains and Ferries

Boulogne is only a short hop away over the Channel, and Channel Hoppers are spoilt for choice.

Choose from Seafrance, P&O Ferries both of whom go from Dover to Calais, Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Coquelles, Calais and Eurostar from St Pancras, London to Coquelles in Calais.

Following the demise of Speedferries a new direct Dover to Boulogne route is supplied by LD Lines.

If you arrive in Calais, you can get to Boulogne quickly with a 20 minute whizz along the A26 motorway or pick up the D940 coastal road on Bleriot Plage in Calais.

Check out our guide below for an overview of each cross-channel operator's services.

PS Don't forget your passport.
