Wimille village centre

The village was not always as peaceful. In 1803 to 1805 Napoleon set up camp for 180,000 soldiers in Boulogne some were based in the village.

Then in WWl the area housed numerous hospitals and other medical establishments.

In WWll there was heavy fighting in the area in 1940 Wimille was devastated.

The garrison at Boulogne fought a delaying action to cover the withdrawal to Dunkirk

There is a military cemetery at nearby Terlincthun. It is hard to imagine anything happening in such a peaceful place.

We always stay in a gite. This is a good way to live like the locals and enjoy the French lifestyle. It is also good value more so if several of you go together.We stay in a small gite about a mile from the village of Wimille every year to do our Christmas shopping.Two miles from the village is one of the largest Hypermarkets in France.
