The Town Hall is a magnificent building completed in 1925. It was planned to commemorate the merging of Calais with Saint Pierre in the late 19th century and the building dominates the city’s main square. Attached to the main building is the impressive tower measuring 246 meters high. Within the building you will find many paintings and stunning stained glass windows telling the story of the departing English who once controlled the city.

Rodin’s Six Burghers is located just outside the Town Hall and is an interesting statue sculpted in the 1890's and recounts the story of the end of the end of the Hundred Years War. The statues depict the city’s mayor and five other citizens handing the keys to the city following a nine month siege.

Eglise Notre-Dame de Calais is the Church of Our Lady, a Roman Catholic church built in between the 12th and 14th century in a mix of Flemish and English architectural style, the church was where Charles De’Gaulle married his wife in 1921. The church was heavily damaged during the Second World War and even to this day renovations are ongoing.

The Citadel was built by the Lord of Boulogne, Philippe le Hurperel, and it was designed to protect the city but served as residence for the Lord and the then for the English ruling elite. When the city was again part of France, the French king renovated the Citadel. Use your hire car Calais and take in this fantastic historical site.
