Calais is often overlooked by Brits passing through on their way to far-flung places, but they're missing out on some little gems and the odd dragon.

Highlights

If you have an hour or two to spare waiting for a train, why not go for a wander?

Tourist info provide a set of walks and hikes here.

I've also made a downloadable PDF and accompanying google map which will give you a feel for the place and take in the sights.

Guided tours

If you'd like a guided tour, Tourist info provide details here. They also offer a greeter service - locals who will show you around their town. You can find out more about it here
