Warnings Or Dangers: Watch where you step!

  • I know it has been written about before in relation to Paris and other parts of France, but I just want to state that there is dog poo EVERYWHERE in Boulogne!

    Please look down before you step anywhere….the footpaths are covered in it….it is pretty revolting.

    Ok, there does seem to be a lot of dogs around…but have the locals not heard of cleaning up after their dogs?!

    You have been warned!

     Enjoyed your tips Sue. Thanks. Have booked on Speed Ferries for a day trip in September - I need my annual 'fix' of French life.

     there is dog poo everywhere in france , dogs are holy animals in france like cows in india , they also bark at any time night and day ; in some quiet streets, you can hear 12 dogs barking at the same time , people have really no life !
