Learn more about hotels in Calais

Calais, a city infused with vital history, is the largest city in the Pas-de-Calais department, though not its prefecture. This bustling port city, built on an artificial island, is a hub for ferry travel connecting France and England. Providing a stunning glimpse of the White Cliffs of Dover across the Strait, Calais is a destination frequented by over 10 million visitors each year.

With roots stretching back to a time when Calais was a mere Dutch-speaking fishing village, the city has evolved dramatically through the ages. It became a fortified subject of the county of Boulogne in 1181 and was under English control from the 14th to the mid-16th century. The city's role in the English wool trade and as a gateway for numerous trades can't be understated. The region around Calais was renamed Pays Reconquis (Reconquered Land) after its recapture by the French. The city’s turbulent past has been excellently preserved, ready to be explored by eager travellers.
