The Château de Boulogne-sur-Mer is built on a flat terrain and falls under the category of court castles. With its polygonal plan, it is part of the fortified city of Boulogne-sur-Mer and occupies a part of its rectangular urban enclosure. The castle has its own moat, which was once filled with water, and is therefore isolated from the previously mentioned fortified enclosure of the city. It is accessible from both the outside as well as from the castle courtyard. The large gateway to the city is still used today and is located between two cylindrical towers. On the opposite side, a postern gate allowed an exit to the fields back when the castle was built.

Le château de Boulogne-sur-Mer, bâti sur un terrain plat, appartient à la catégorie des châteaux de cour. De plan polygonal, il fait partie de la ville fortifiée de Boulogne-sur-Mer et occupe une partie de son enceinte urbaine rectangulaire. Entouré de douves autrefois remplies d'eau, il est isolé de l'enceinte fortifiée de la ville. On y accède aussi bien par l'extérieur que par la cour intérieure. La grande porte d'entrée de la ville, toujours utilisée aujourd'hui, se situe entre deux tours cylindriques.
