Those looking for some fresh air can take advantage of the wide open spaces of unspoilt countryside as well as miles of coastline.

The area is packed with restaurants offering numerous regional specialities as well as a variety of locally brewed beers and French wines.

If you known where to look, you can find historical features dotted about including Calais Town Hall with its spectacular belfry and the famous statue of the Six Burghers by Rodin.
