THE AREA OF CALAIS, FROM THE HEADLANDS TO CALAIS …

Over dozens of kilometres, you can admire a stretch of wild countryside where walkers will find a diversity of reliefs and of fauna or flora, between both headlands the “Caps Blanc-Nez et Gris-Nez”, two conservation areas, facing the British coast.
Wissant, a seasite resort, links both headlands with its bay. Guines, a little way out, is a subtle mixing of woods, valleys and marshlands. Ardres owns a leisure centre where you can enjoy different nautical activities on its lakes. As for Marquise, it’s the land of the marble with its carries from which up to 26 varieties of marble of Boulogne are extracted. As regards Calais, first port of passengers in France, it has more than one string to its bow: indeed, the town is also the lace capital of the world!
