On the gorgeous Opal Coast just 30 minutes from Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer is the perfect choice for a weekend by the sea, especially for fish-lovers in search of wonderful seafood platters. Also unmissable is its La Matelote hotel facing the beach, with its restaurant serving spanking-fresh local delights including langoustines, scallops, lobsters...

The Hotel just in front Nausicaà is the ideal place for refreshing weekend getaway to France ….. especially for seafood lovers! Boulogne-sur-Mer is France’s largest fishing port and the hotel and restaurant sit right on the port. You can meet the fishermen and perhaps spot your meal for the evening! Nothing is more refreshing than the fresh sea breeze which will have you feeling a million miles away - you may even spot a seal swimming around.
Just around the corner is Nausicaà Sea Life experience, more than just a mere aquarium: it is the largest exhibit in Europe dedicated to the discovery and protection of the marine world.
With more than 58,000 animals, Nausicaá is an incredible destination for families. Here you will marvel at the majestic pelagic rays and hammerhead sharks, explore the beauties of the tropical lagoon, attend the medical training of the sea lions and many more experiences!

The Boulogne-sur-Mer old town perched above the harbour is beautiful with cobbled steps and charming cafés and terraces.

The hotel offers great comfort and a warm decor to prolong the gourmet escapade designed by Tony Lestienne, your chef.

La Matelote is first and foremost a family story. Tony is the great great grandson of the famous and celebrated bearded woman of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Clémence Lestienne, whose portrait you’ll find in the restaurant.
