La Cite De La Dentelle Et De La Mode De Calais

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.

Carriere Wellington

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.

Calais Beach

Reviewed By Drew040874 - London, United Kingdom

We visited on a glorious summers day and spent the whole day on the beach. They have done a brilliant job in renovating the area. The beach is clean with very attentive life guards. The facilities are clean and tidy and plenty of places to get snacks or something more formal, there are restaurants are close by. First time swimming in the English Channel. Was fun watching all the ferries coming and going to and from Dover. The ferries don’t disrupt your visit to the beach. Free all day parking. Something the UK seaside towns needs to do! Can’t wait to go back.

This park is huge and is very well maintained with large beautiful flower beds bursting at the seams, play areas for the children and winding walks through the large trees providing plenty of shade on those hot days. Definitely worth a visit if you have a few hours for a wander.

Grand Place

Reviewed By Chirp2lou - Victoria, Canada

We ended up in Arras because we wanted to visit Vimy Ridge. Luckily we had time to wander the streets of Arras to view the (mostly rebuilt) old town and the stunning square. Photos don't do it justice. A very impressive square made charming by the bakeries, shops and restaurants lining it. Enjoy some refreshments and watch the world go by...

Stunning view of the city. For those who are afraid of heights it was an easy climb. A great deal if you combine the ticket with the Boves tour.
