Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 348 reviews
Established in Calais, inside an authentic nineteenth century lace factory, the Museum of Lace and Fashion is a specialist museum for the famous lace woven on looms. A museum of both fashion and industry, its vast galleries present the techniques, the lingerie and haute couture associated with this prestigious textile, as well as its most contemporary aspects. The high point of a visit to this important museum is to discover the lace weaving looms in operation, those monumental cast iron machines that produce this exceptional fabric.

The history of lace making from Tudor to the present day kicks off a series of excellently presented rooms, with some interactive bits, culminating in the spectacular machine room with working demo of a real engineering marvel making a great swathe of curtain lace. The way lace was used in clothes from the adorable (baby bonnets) to the bizarre (take my word for it & go see) developed as machines replaced handwork & modern designers and artists found new ways to exploit the lace technology. The in-depth explanation of this technology & the range of skills needed was mind-boggling. My top pick - the life of Joan of Arc woven in Nottingham for a Paris exhibition. Current "special" section is a load of amazing couture, not all lace to be sure, by Belgian Olivier Theyskens - some pieces more wearable than others... A good deal of the labelling is bilingual, nice loos, park the other side of the river & enjoy a fine view of Calais cathedral from the high bridge.

We visited on a glorious summers day and spent the whole day on the beach. They have done a brilliant job in renovating the area. The beach is clean with very attentive life guards. The facilities are clean and tidy and plenty of places to get snacks or something more formal, there are restaurants are close by. First time swimming in the English Channel. Was fun watching all the ferries coming and going to and from Dover. The ferries don’t disrupt your visit to the beach. Free all day parking. Something the UK seaside towns needs to do! Can’t wait to go back.

Read the story and you can't help be moved by the history behind the sculptures and it's captured here in Calais in front of the famous town hall, and set amongst a very well maintained garden of tulips, standard roses irises etc.

This park is huge and is very well maintained with large beautiful flower beds bursting at the seams, play areas for the children and winding walks through the large trees providing plenty of shade on those hot days. Definitely worth a visit if you have a few hours for a wander.

The Todt battery is one of 4 WW2 gun emplacements in the area and the only one that has survived. If you look through the nearby forest, you can see another one blown up and rotting away. The museum is quite small, you can cover it easily in 30 to 45 minutes. However, it is very well curated and has some amazing exhibits. The railway gun is a start, but also other assorted guns and vehicles outside. Inside you have all kinds of WW2 equipment, including an armoury with 100s of rifles, machine guns, etc. from all over Europe. You will also find some truly unusual things like the parachute dummies used during D-Days, horse-drawn German anti-aircraft guns, etc. Very worthwhile to visit, definitely have a look if you are in the area.
