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.

WHAT TO SEE IN THE CITIES OF CALAIS AND DIEPPE, NORMANDY FRANCE
These are the two stops we made before getting to Caen.
1st stop: Calais- This is the sea port in France. If we are going to United Kingdom we need to come here and cross over the sea by ferry. The other side of the sea is Dover, UK. Calais is known as haven of immigrants. Aside from their beach which has the best sand I have ever seen, the town hall made a good impression in me. It was clean and well-maintained.
2nd Stop: Dieppe. Coastal community in the Normandy region. It has a lot of tourist and is known to have pebbles in there beaches. The castle on top of the cliff was a place of interest but there was no time for us.
Find me on.

Moment Calais migrants jumped onboard lorries - BBC News
Helicopter footage shows Migrants attempting to board lorries near Calais. Large numbers of migrants are attempting to get into cars and lorries, backed up at Calais, because of a strike by French ferry workers. Ships are not being allowed to leave or enter the port. Eurotunnel says it has reduced its shuttle train services between Calais and Folkestone and queues are building up on approaches to Dover.

UK-bound Illegal Immigrants Camp in French Port City Calais
The northern French port Calais has become a flash point for illegal immigrants trying to enter Britain.
With their route to England blocked, immigrants have set up makeshift camps along the roadsides in Calais.
Around 3,000 people, most from countries such as Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and Syria, live on filthy wasteland.
Fleeing war, persecution and poverty, Calais is the end of a very long journey.
There are many people here who have asked for asylum in this country and that country [and] got refused. They've been on the road for two, three, four, five years, and they've run out of possibilities, said Maya Konforti, with voluntary immigrant help group L'Auberge des Migrants.
As many see the U.K. as their last chance to find a better life, a chaotic, dangerous and sometimes even deadly game of cat and mouse between local police and immigrants plays out on the road leading to the port.
Immigrants scramble onto lorries that have slowed down on their approach to the port, while police do their best to stop them.
In reality, only a handful of people get through this way, but that doesn't deter others from trying.
One man from Eritrea told China Central Television's reporter about his perilous journey to Europe, which took him across Sudan and the Sahara then from Libya to Italy in a small and overcrowded boat.
He knows the next step is also dangerous but says it's worth the risk.
Even coming before here, I decided to go in England. Always, I'm try[ing] to cross by truck to the ship or the train. I take the risk because maybe I'm successful, I'm enter[ing] Britain. [If I'm] not successful, I'm back, I try again. This [is] my life, he said.

With extraordinary footage of hundreds of migrants storming lorries on the approach to France’s Calais, this video captures the chaos and desperation of those seeking a better life in the UK.
These scenes were filmed at the height of the refugee crisis in 2016 when many Syrian, Sudanese and other North African migrants plotted illegal entry into the UK from the notorious migrant camp, The Jungle.
