Calais is a town and major ferry port in Northern France in the department of Pas-de-Calais, of which it is a sub-prefecture.

The city's proximity to England has made it a major port for centuries. It is the principal ferry crossing point between England and France, with the vast majority of Channel crossings being made between Dover and Calais.

Companies operating from Calais include SeaFrance and P&O Ferries.

The French end of the Channel Tunnel is situated in the vicinity of Calais, in Coquelles some 4 miles (6.4 km) to the west of the town. Calais possesses direct rail links to Paris, 148 miles (238 km) to the south.

More than 10 million people visit Calais annually.
