Description

The Boulogne-Aéroglisseurs station was a long-distance railway station in France. It was located in Le Portel near Boulogne-sur-Mer on the English Channel and served exclusively for traffic between Paris and London by train and hovercraft.

In 1968, the Hoverport Boulogne-sur-Mer terminal for hovercraft began operations on the beach of Le Portel. The hovercrafts of the company Seaspeed, whose owners were the state railways SNCF and British Rail, landed there. Immediately adjacent to their handling building, SNCF put the Boulogne-Aéroglisseurs station into operation in 1970 to improve the railway connection. The track of a port railway was used for this, which branches off from the Outreau station from the Longueau–Boulogne-Ville railway line and leads to the port of Boulogne through the 1,891-meter-long Tunnel de l’Ave-Maria.
