Crossing the channel
Take advantage of our close proximity to
France and hop across from Dover for the day on
one of the frequent cross channel ferries. Take
the car or cruise across as a foot passenger. On clear days you can
even see the lights of Calais and Boulogne, tempting the visitor to
experience something new. Turn your day into a short visit, but
don’t forget your passport!
Experience a taste of something new and pop across to see our
French neighbours. Cafe culture, shopping, museums and great places
to eat are all waiting to be discovered.
Calais
Just a short hop across the Channel from
England lies the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Steeped in history, discover
the rich heritage of the region's monuments, museums and historic
cities dating from Roman times to the last World Wars.
France is famous for its wonderful gastronomy and the
Nord-Pas-de-Calais region is no exception with superb examples of
mouth watering regional specialities as well as numerous regionally
brewed beers.
