When you walk in the streets and alleys of the old town of Boulogne-sur-mer, you also have to look up to see dates here and there. (Thanks Keith)

This building was built in the 18th century, during the reign of Louis XVI, King of France, in 1788, just 1 year before the French Revolution. Rue Saint-Martin is a narrow one-way street.

The Old Town of Boulogne-sur-Mer is surrounded by 13th century ramparts, which makes it accessible only by four doors. It has many cobbled streets, some of which are pedestrianized, as well as many buildings dating from before the 19th century.
