Boulogne-sur-Mer Travel Forum

We have had a few day trips to Calais via chunnel and one holiday by ferry Dover to Calais, but have booked a speedferry this year from Dover to Boulogne. Hubby is still apprehensive about driving in France and is worried about what it is like getting off the ferry in Boulogne, we went there on a day trip about 19 years ago and the roads were so busy. We will be travelling to the Compiegne area. Is it still busy, or will we be ok getting out of Boulogne on to the main road? I just need to calm him down a bit before we go in 2 weeks time.... thanks
