Calais is a town in the north of France, situated on the "Strait of Dover", a section of the English Channel. The opposite south coast of England is only 34 kilometres from Calais. The portal to the Eurotunnel is also located in the immediate vicinity. In addition, Calais counts as a tourist center Opal Coast region, also called Côte d'Opale. The urban area is divided into the area of the old town and the suburb St. Piere.

The Nord-Pas-de-Calais region has some large beaches where the climate is pleasantly warm despite its northern location. The region is characterised by beautiful cliffs, dune strips, promenade dykes and shallow beach accesses. Here you can also practice various water sports, such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding, or simply enjoy the day by the sea.

Calais is an excellent starting point for extensive walks through the region. A total of 35 hiking routes are available, which lead along the coast as well as inland. A trip to the dunes of Slack or the hiking tour from Calais to Gravelines is highly recommended. The route along the bay of Authie also offers breathtaking views.

Especially striking is the watchtower "Tour de Guet", which dates back to the 13th century. It was built of pale yellow bricks and used to be part of the fortress. In addition, it once served as an oil-powered lighthouse and as an optical telegraph. Also worth seeing is the 50 metre high lighthouse from 1848, which offers you a fantastic view of the harbour.

In the Museum of Fine Arts you can visit a permanent exhibition on the history of the city. Exhibits from the time of the German occupation are exhibited in the Museum of the Second World War, which is located opposite the Town Hall.

The church of Notre Dame was built in the 13th century. Its architectural character is striking, with a cistern attached to the nave. During the Second World War, the church was accidentally bombed by the Allies because of its similarity to a fortress and its exposed location. But you can still visit the church with its rich decorations and art treasures from the outside and inside.
