Calais is the largest city in France’s Pas-de-Calais department and serves as one of its subprefectures. Facing the Strait of Dover, it is the French town closest to England, with the White Cliffs of Dover visible on clear days across the channel’s narrowest stretch. Ferries link Calais with England, while the Channel Tunnel has connected it to Folkestone since 1994.
