A thousand years of secrets echo beneath Boulogne’s windswept ramparts. Shadows lengthen in its ancient lanes, hiding tales more thrilling than the view from atop the Opal Coast cliffs.

With this self-guided audio tour, wander through the city’s living history and discover the powerful moments most travelers overlook. Unravel layers beneath the Vieille Ville’s peaceful facades, inside the Castle-Museum, and beyond.

Why did desperate defenders choose fire and ruins during the Siege of 1940 instead of surrender? What lost artifact is rumored to slumber beneath the stony heart of the Castle-Museum? How did a single, secret message change the tide for an entire city—or did it?

Feel history surge around you as you trace steps from medieval intrigue to wartime siege. Each corner promises drama, hidden beauty, and tales ready to ambush the imagination.

Peel back Boulogne’s centuries and listen. Your journey into the city’s hidden depths begins now.
