Few monographs deal with the cultural role of a medium-sized town in France in the 19th century. century. Our aim is not to deny Parisian centrality or to modify the Paris-province hierarchies, but rather, by changing observatory, to better understand the scholarly links within France, the construction of knowledge through the circulation of people, ideas and objects that unite the nearby coast, the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer specifically, to the capital, to see how the province feeds on Parisian knowledge and vice versa.
Beyond the intra-local and trans-local levels, the question arises of the relationships with the nearby British Isles in shaping Boulogne's cultural specificity. In the context of a connected history, visiting Boulogne-sur-Mer means joining a cultural milieu that is certainly secondary, but strategic, at the junction of ongoing links with the European capitals of Paris, London and Brussels.
