History of Calais

Calais was discovered in the 12th century, but became prosperous only a century later thanks to the development of the fishing sector. Its golden age is between 1880 and 1914 during which the trade has grown and a large number of manufactures appear in this city. At the time of Louis XIV, a fort-lock was built and a redevelopment of the citadel brought a new air to the city of Calais. But it is especially Henri IV, Richelieu and Vauban who hastened to improve and consolidate the fortifications of the city to defeat any future attack. Indeed, many people are interested in this city including the Spanish, the English and the Dutch. They tried several times to seize the city. Fortunately, they all failed, only these wars still managed to undermine the prosperity of the Calais trade. During the First World War, Calais became an international military base. But the most terrible was announced with the Second World War that destroyed the entire heritage of Calais causing many casualties and significant material damage. Calais was being bombarded both by sea and by the English coastal batteries installed near Dover. Indeed, it was largely destroyed, since on the 17,700 buildings, only 860 remained intact. In addition, the port of Calais was no longer able to be in service. The figures are only the reflection of the truth, it is for this reason that in tribute to his heroic attitude, Calais received the Legion of Honor on July 10, 1947 and was given, November 11, 1948, the cross of war 1939-1945 with palm. After the war, the majority of neighborhoods that were destroyed north of the city were rebuilt. However, it is only an emergency reconstruction, which will mark the urban architecture of the city for several decades. In any case, it was above all the opening of the Channel Tunnel of 1994 that spawned the economic recovery of the city. As a result, several jobs have been created, as well as new road infrastructures and new businesses, including Cité Europe. Our destination is mainly from the airport to the hotel, however you can ask us to take you around the legendary places of Calais.
