The dove with the olive branch flies in the upper left corner of the marble tombstone, it is engraved in white and the olive branch is engraved with gold.

You can read the name of the deceased, as well as those of his parents still alive.

Established in 1806, it is the oldest cemetery in the city. Until then, Boulogne counted two great necropolises: that of the upper town (at the foot of Notre-Dame) and that of the lower town (around Saint-Nicolas).

The cemetery is open daily from 8am to 6pm.

La colombe avec la branche d'olivier vole dans le coin supérieur gauche de la pierre tombale en marbre, elle est gravée en blanc et la branche d'olivier est gravée d'or.

Vous pouvez y lire le nom du défunt, ainsi que ceux de ses parents encore vivant.

Créé en 1806, il est le cimetière le plus ancien de la ville. Jusqu’alors, Boulogne comptait deux grandes nécropoles : celle de la haute ville (au pied de Notre-Dame) et celui de la basse ville (autour de Saint-Nicolas).

Le cimetière est ouvert tous les jours de 8h à 18h00.
