Calais is a major port between France and England located on the Opal Coast. It has a wide sandy beach and a number of attractions that are well worth a look. Rodin's famous sculpture of the Burghers of Calais stands in front of the ornate Hotel de Ville with its 75-meter-high belfry. The Museum of Lace and Fashion is housed in what was once a 19th ceutry lace factory and includes working lace-making looms, as well the work of great coururiers and renown young designers. In the Parc Richelieu you'll find a memorial to Lady Hamilton the paramour of Lord Nelson who ended up living an impoverished life in Calais after Nelson's demise.
