Ok, so I've never had a particularly good impression of Calais. The first impressions I had of it were arriving at the port having crossed the channel on the ferry (or the hovercraft...remember those?) It wasn't until a few years later that I actually visited the town. I'ts really quite pretty.
- Pros:close to the port, pretty, great for shopping
- Cons:Take care crossing the road
- In a nutshell:Underrated

enjoyed looking at the photos from back then : )
Recently stayed in Calais for the first time in 40-odd years; wonder if I'll be back in, say, 2050?
Glad you enjoyed this nice city.
Tower thingy! LOL
