Calais

Calais is often overlooked by Brits passing through on their way to far-flung places, but they're missing out on some little gems and the odd dragon.

If you'd like a guided tour, Tourist info provide details here. They also offer a greeter service - locals who will show you around their town. You can find out more about it here
