Calais is a mere 21 miles from the coast of Dover, England and a main source of trading between England and France via the English Channel. The distinctive town hall building in Calais can be seen and heard from miles around- the 240-foot structure looms over both the old and modern towns of Calais and rings an electric bell every hour. French eateries line up against the city's many pristine beaches and the Calais Lighthouse is open five days a week to those who wish to see a spectacular view of the city and the White Cliffs of Dover.
