Hi,
I've booked a daytrip to France. Will be taking the car from Dover to
Calais. Just wanted to find out if there's any decent places to visit,
things to do near Calais as I've heard its pretty dead there apart from the
big shopping city.
Thanks |

You're fairly far north, so Bruges (Belgium) is about 1.5 hours away from
Calais. You might also be able to take the ferry back to Calais from
nearby Oostende. I've only passed by Lille so I don't know much about it,
but it might be nice and its a little over an hour away.

Lille is quite a nice city to visit. We spent a few days there on arrival in
France in December, and liked it a lot.

Appalling or not, speaking French in France is regarded as a sign of
respect. Besides you will often get a fresh slice of Tarte normande for
your attempt.. So come often, you French will improve, and have fun! >> Stay informed about: Day Trip to France |

Hi,
We just wanted a Day trip in France. The only reason I mentioned Calais is
because that's where the ferry stops. Will probably visit some of the
places suggested in the previous posts, then if there's time take a look
around the Cite Europe.
Thanks >> Stay informed about: Day Trip to France |

Hello,
There are a lot of stuffs to visit around Calais. Depends whether your
are willing to travel by car close, a bit away, or not...
A few examples :
.. At Boulogne, nausicaa (see web site)
.. Around St Omer, a boat trip in he marais audemarois (very quiet swamp
place)
.. Mimoyecques = V1/V2 lauch site
.. Eperlecques = V1 V2 lauch site + very interesting WW museum
.. etc...
For shopping, department stores accept often sterling pounds, and have a
to your car delivery system. Most opalces have english pseaking
sellers... Business is business.
Cheers,
Yves >> Stay informed about: Day Trip to France |
