About Calais, Le Touquet & Popular Attractions

  Town Hall Calais
About 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. A large variety of shopping opportunities, a fine public beach and two interesting museums ensure that Calais will always remain a popular choice.

About 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.
