 Calais bullet Le Touquet

Calais: Calais is an interesting combination of old and new. The flamboyant Town Hall, completed in 1925, is fronted by Rodin’s famous statue of the
Six Burghers of Calais. The colourful past of Calais can still be seen in landmarks such as the Watch Tower and the church tower of Notre Dame. Not to be missed are three fascinating museums – the War Museum, the Fine Arts Museum and the contemporary International City of Lace and Fashion Museum. In addition, a large variety of shopping opportunities and a fine public beach ensure that Calais will always remain a popular choice.

Le Touquet: An attractive seaside resort, Le Touquet, nicknamed “Paris-Plage” (Paris-by-the-Sea), was built in the 1920’s when it was a popular destination for wealthy Parisiens and the British aristocracy. Today, Le Touquet is still very appealing with elegant architecture, vast green areas, interesting shops and a fine sandy beach. Aqualud, the water adventure park by the beach, adds to Le Touquet’s many attractions.
