A favourite moment for tourists on Saturday and Wednesday mornings : going for a stroll in Boulogne market, aside the historic Church of Saint Nicolas located in the town-centre.
Rocked by the call of vendors and the smell of fresh fruits and veg, or cheese or roasted chicken, they often take pleasure in buying local specialities : a cream tart from Le Portel town or a chunk of cheddar cheese to make a � welsh �, coastal speciality served with chips and fresh french beer.
However much this dish tries to claim English roots, we've been quite happy to make it our own !
Have one in the numerous brasseries around !
In the summer, mussels and chips are The Must. Cooked with cream, white whine, or curry, try them any way you like !
