WIDE OPEN SPACES SHAPED BY HISTORY

When you visit Calais area, you will be surprised by the diverse and unspoilt landscapes.

On the coast, proudly facing the white cliffs of Dover, the Caps Blanc-Nez (134m high chalk cliffs) and Gris-Nez (45m high sandstone, clay and chalk) stand on either side of the Bay of Wissant.  

Off the coast, on the straits of Dover, the busiest sea channel in the world, the non-stop ballet of ships dancing to and fro between Britain and the Continent is conducted by the tall Cross Gris-Nez radar station.
