Cultural heritage also deserves a place in your programme. The historic monuments in Calais help us to better understand the town’s history and its strategic role on the coast.

For visitors who are unfamiliar with the area, our page dedicated to activities in and around Calais is a useful resource for planning your itinerary.

You can also extend your trip to the major natural sites of the Opal Coast. The Cap Blanc-Nez, the coastal beaches and seascapes offer a pleasant contrast to the atmosphere of the theatre.

This diversity makes Calais an ideal base for a holiday combining culture, the sea, heritage and relaxation.

The perfect event for a November getaway

November is a particularly good time for short cultural breaks. When the days get cooler, shows offer an excellent opportunity to get out and about and enjoy some quality time together.

The official programme states, in particular, that the doors will open before the shows begin and that a catering area and a refreshment bar will be available on site.
