A Portrait of Charles and Yvonne de Gaulle
This film shows the statues commemorating Charles de Gaulle, and his wife Yvonne, situated in Calais town centre, France.
The background music is made using GarageBand from musical loops ‘Velvet Rope Harp’ and ‘Pop Champagne Harp’. Any similarity to any other tune means that they have used the same GarageBand loops and try to claim ‘copyright theft’, which is completely false. However companies, such as ‘AdRev’, ‘Audiam’, ‘Believe Music’, ‘CD Baby’, ‘INgrooves’, ‘muzie’, ‘Proton LLC’, ’Rebeat Digital GmbH’, ’TuneCore’, ‘Zimbalam’ and the like, will obviously try to make multiple claims, often against a single musical GarageBand loop, for copyright theft. Just saying........ that's all.

Places to see in ( Calais - France )
Calais is a port city in northern France. Across the English Channel from the clifftop town of Dover, it’s the principal ferry crossing point between France and England. Its old town, Calais-Nord, sits on an artificial island surrounded by canals. The imposing Hôtel de Ville (town hall) has a 78m-high belfry with city views, and Rodin's famous bronze statue, Les Bourgeois de Calais. As Churchill might have put it, 'Never in the field of human tourism have so many travellers passed through a place and so few stopped to visit'. More than 30 million people on their way to and from England travel via Calais each year, but precious few decide to stop – pity the local tourist office as it tries to snag a few of the Britons racing south to warmer climes – but in fact the town is worth at least a brief stopover. A mere 34km from the English port of Dover (Douvres in French), Calais makes a convenient launching pad for exploring the majestic Côte d'Opale. Calais is situated in the Pas-de-Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais region (now part of the Hauts-de-France region), in the north of France at 98 km from Arras, the department capital. (General information: Calais is 235 km from Paris). Popular places to visit nearby include Cap Blanc-Nez and Cap Gris-Nez at 11 km and Wissant at 15 km.
Calais is a town and major ferry port in northern France in the department of Pas-de-Calais, of which it is a sub-prefecture. Although Calais is by far the largest city in Pas-de-Calais, the department's prefecture is its third-largest city of Arras. The population of the metropolitan area at the 2010 census was 126,395. Calais overlooks the Strait of Dover, the narrowest point in the English Channel, which is only 34 km (21 mi) wide here, and is the closest French town to England. The White Cliffs of Dover can easily be seen on a clear day from Calais. Calais is a major port for ferries between France and England, and since 1994, the Channel Tunnel has linked nearby Coquelles to Folkestone by rail.
Due to its position, Calais since the Middle Ages has been a major port and a very important centre for transport and trading with England. It was annexed by Edward III of England in 1347 and grew into a thriving centre for wool production. The town came to be called the brightest jewel in the English crown owing to its great importance as the gateway for the tin, lead, lace and wool trades (or staples). Calais was a territorial possession of England until its capture by France in 1558. The town was virtually razed to the ground during World War II, when in May 1940, it was a strategic bombing target of the invading German forces who took the town during the Siege of Calais. During World War II, the Germans built massive bunkers along the coast in preparation for launching missiles on England.
The old part of the town, Calais proper (known as Calais-Nord), is situated on an artificial island surrounded by canals and harbours. The modern part of the town, St-Pierre, lies to the south and south-east. In the centre of the old town is the Place d'Armes, in which stands the Tour du Guet, or watch-tower, a structure built in the 13th century, which was used as a lighthouse until 1848 when a new lighthouse was built by the port. South east of the Place is the church of Notre-Dame, built during the English occupancy of Calais. It is arguably the only church built in the English perpendicular style in all of France. In this church former French President Charles de Gaulle married his wife Yvonne Vendroux. South of the Place and opposite the Parc St Pierre is the Hôtel-de-ville (the town hall), and the belfry from the 16th and early 17th centuries. Today, Calais is visited by more than 10 million annually. Aside from being a key transport hub, Calais is also a notable fishing port and a centre for fish marketing, and some 3,000 people are still employed in the lace industry for which the town is also famed.
( Calais - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Calais . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Calais - France

Calais was a territorial possession of England until its capture by France in 1558. In 1805 it was a staging area for Napoleon's troops for several months during his planned invasion of the United Kingdom. The town was virtually razed to the ground during World War II, when in May 1940, it was a strategic bombing target of the invading German forces who took the town during the Siege of Calais. During World War II, the Germans built massive bunkers along the coast in preparation for launching missiles on England.

Aside from being a key transport hub, Calais is also a notable fishing port and a centre for fish marketing, and some 3,000 people are still employed in the lace industry for which the town is also famed.
Place d'Armes is one of the largest squares in the city of Calais, adjoins the watchtower, and during medieval times was once the heart of the city. During the English occupation (1347–1558), it became known as Market Square (place du Marché). Only at the end of English occupation did it take the name of Place d'Armes. After the reconquest of Calais in 1558 by Francis, Duke of Guise, Francis II gave Calais the right to hold a fair twice a year on the square, which still exists today, as well as a bustling Wednesday and Saturday market.
The town centre, which has seen significant regeneration over the past decade, is dominated by its distinctive town hall (Hôtel de Ville) at Place du Soldat Inconnu. It was built in the Flemish Renaissance style between 1911 and 1925 to commemorate the unification of the cities of Calais and Saint Pierre in 1885.
Église Notre-Dame is a cathedral which was originally built in the late 13th century and its tower was added in the late 14th or early 15th century.
The Tour du Guet (Watch Tower), situated in Calais Nord on the Places d'Armes, is one of the few surviving pre-war buildings. Dating from 1229, when Philip I, Count of Boulogne, built the fortifications of Calais, it is one of the oldest monuments of Calais, although the oldest remaining traces date to 1302.

Tour de France en Trottinette - Calais
------------------- Tour de France en Trottinette électrique -----------------
Ville : Calais
A travers ce circuit nous avons visité la ville de Calais en trottinette électrique en passant par la Plage de Calais, l'Hôtel de Ville de Calais, le monument Yvonne et Charles de Gaulle, l'église Notre-Dame, le Port de Calais.
Nous avons aussi parcouru son centre ville, sa gare routière, ses rues commerçantes et goûter à leur spécialité locale : la marmite calaisienne et le welsh.
Notre projet : Visiter la France en trottinette électrique.
En 9 mois nous avons décidé de faire un marathon des grandes (et moins grandes) villes de France. Nous en avons parcouru plus de quarante. En espérant que cette série de vidéos pourra en inspirer d'autres à faire comme nous : visiter ce beau territoire qu'est la France, ou vous aiguiller sur votre prochaine destination le temps d'un week-end :)
Modèles de nos trottinettes électriques à la fin de la vidéo : Kugoo S1 pro et Ta'trott.
Discours du Général DE GAULLE à CALAIS
Discours sur les marches de l'Hôtel de Ville face à une foule de Calaisiennes et de Calaisiens. La population de la cité des six Bourgeois est à jamais liée au Général par le mariage. C'est en effet le 6 avril 1921 que Charles DE GAULLE, alors capitaine, épouse une calaisienne Yvonne Charlotte Anne Marie VENDROUX en l'église Notre-Dame de CALAIS. Elle est la fille d'une famille d'industriels calaisienne d'origine bourguignonne.
Plus tard, son frère aîné, Jacques VENDROUX, fut maire de CALAIS et député.
