Welcome to Calais, the gateway to France and Europe. The coastline and the towns
around Calais are on the doorstep of eight kilometres of clean, well maintained
beaches; Dover is 33 kilometres away and can be seen on a
clear day.
Calais Opal Coast enjoys an exceptional location. It has always been the
preferred crossing point between the mainland and Britain, the territory
is
located at the heart of a communications network made up of
motorway links,
sea
links, TGV and main rail lines.

In the centre of Calais is the market place
dominated
by the "Watch Tower" which made up part of the system of defences.
Also in the centre of Calais is the lovely Flemish style
town hall, which celebrates the union of the cities of Calais and Saint Pierre
in 1885.
