Calais is a major port city in northern France, located in the Hauts-de-France region. Situated on the Strait of Dover, at the narrowest point of the English Channel, it serves as one of the main gateway cities between France and England.

The city's history dates back to the Middle Ages, and it has played a significant role in French-British relations throughout the centuries. Calais is known for its historic architecture, including the distinctive Town Hall with its UNESCO-listed belfry, and the 13th-century Tour du Guet watchtower.

The city has a rich cultural heritage, particularly in textile manufacturing, with its famous lace-making tradition that dates back to the 19th century. The Cité de la Dentelle et de la Mode (Museum of Lace and Fashion) preserves and showcases this industrial and artistic legacy. Today, Calais combines its historical features with modern urban development, maintaining its position as an important cultural and economic center in northern France.
