A secret base at the heart of Second World Wae history...A real underground town, constructed in 1943 and 1944 by the German army to go ahead with the launch V2 rockets on London, La Coupole is an exceptional site on which the destiny of Europe could have been played out...Today, it is an astonishing museum, a centre to gain an understanding of the historical and scientific stakes at play during the Second World War, from Occupation to the hidden face of space conquest. New! La Coupole now houses a revolutionary 3D planetarium. Sit insite the massive 360° room wearing your active 3D glasses and travel thtough the universe...
Fantastic experience, lots to see and do, the inside of the dome is huge. Not just WW11 stuff but modern space stuff too. Multimedia audio-visual displays in English, French, Dutch and German. Also a planetarium which was fascinating (though unfortunately not in English).

During my 8 weeks walking through UK and France I saw many churches and Cathedrals and rate St Omer Cathedral as one of the better Cathedrals I visited

Established in Calais, inside an authentic nineteenth century lace factory, the Museum of Lace and Fashion is a specialist museum for the famous lace woven on looms. A museum of both fashion and industry, its vast galleries present the techniques, the lingerie and haute couture associated with this prestigious textile, as well as its most contemporary aspects. The high point of a visit to this important museum is to discover the lace weaving looms in operation, those monumental cast iron machines that produce this exceptional fabric.
The history of lace making from Tudor to the present day kicks off a series of excellently presented rooms, with some interactive bits, culminating in the spectacular machine room with working demo of a real engineering marvel making a great swathe of curtain lace. The way lace was used in clothes from the adorable (baby bonnets) to the bizarre (take my word for it & go see) developed as machines replaced handwork & modern designers and artists found new ways to exploit the lace technology. The in-depth explanation of this technology & the range of skills needed was mind-boggling. My top pick - the life of Joan of Arc woven in Nottingham for a Paris exhibition. Current "special" section is a load of amazing couture, not all lace to be sure, by Belgian Olivier Theyskens - some pieces more wearable than others... A good deal of the labelling is bilingual, nice loos, park the other side of the river & enjoy a fine view of Calais cathedral from the high bridge.

Maréis invites you to discover the work of a fisherman in Etaples which is well-known in France for its quality and savoir-faire. And so are the different species from the Channel and the North Sea. Thanks to a surprising and entertaining visit, your guide will bring you from the dockyard to the open sea. You will discover the different fishing techniques, and you will learn everything about life on a trawler where fishermen work day and night to bring fresh fish. Before you turn into a good fisherman, you will receive skills on how to navigate and how to make a knot such a genuine fisherman. The seaside won’t have any secrets to you anymore : thanks to an underwater camera you will watch a seabed. That will bring you a lot of surprises!

Enter one of the most secret place of military history, and discover a real underground town, where more than 20 000 soldiers of the Commonwealth prepared the most surprising attack of WW1.
A must see! Visited here on a quiet Sunday in September after a visit to Point Du Jour cemetery to see a grave of a relative who fought in Arras in the first world war. We came here after wanting to experience a little of what they went through during that time. We were not disappointed. We had a friendly greeting upon entering, reasonably priced and waited 20 minutes for the next tour, and was then set up with a helmet and audio guide in the desired language. Were were then greeted by our excellent tour guide who flicked between French and English to accommodate the group and took us 20 metres underground listening to the audio guide and tour guide which worked perfectly. It was a great experience, very informative and would definitely recommend.

We found this museum to be very informative and interesting. The models all looked very individual and it is amazing to find that all the items are original. We especially liked the straw over boots and the helmet with the hanging sort of yashmak. Good information in several languages and it included most aspects of the war and the countries involved. Only disappointing bit - there was no video showing on the day we visited and I don,t think we could visit the outside exhibits. Shop very good.

The eglise Notre Damn is a magnificent church, rebuilt following the damage it suffered during the war. The exterior architecture is superb and is equaled by the ornate decoration inside.
