Calais is famous primarily for its textile industry. Feather-weight lace and tulle are internationally famous for their exceptional quality and beauty. There is a museum dedicated to this industry in the city. It offers an interesting exhibition dedicated to the process of making lace, ornaments, and embroidery. There are both new and old weaver looms, as well as the finest textiles. Moreover, the museum hosts thematic master-classes twice a month. At these meetings, visitors can try to make their own lace, try sewing and embroidery, and even learn how to make own clothes. However, there is one thing to consider – all these master-classes are usually in French.

Ruins of the first castle are the main symbol and the most famous landmark in the city. Count of Boulogne made an order to build the castle yet in the 12th century. Later, the castle was rebuilt in the 16th century, turning from a dungeon into an impenetrable fortress. Excursions dedicated to the ancient castle will help you learn more about the history of Calais, marine and land-based fights, and English occupation. Besides that, it is one more wonderful opportunity to take a stroll in a picturesque area and admire gorgeous sea views and charming neighborhoods of Calais. There is a souvenir shop with nice items.
