Your Holiday in Calais

Shopping in Calais

Close to the white cliffs of Dover you can travel by road and tunnel or ferry, or by train. Shoppers flock to take advantage of the warehouses full of alcohol and tobacco offers, but you will also find a wealth of shops ranging from gift shops, souvenir shops and fashion outlets to shops selling everything from local produce, food and groceries.

Away from the main Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, enjoy a piece of traditional French shopping visit the two Calais Markets.  Wednesdays and Saturdays see the Place d'Armes selling local produce, while on Thursdays and Saturdays it is the Place Crèvecoeur.  Both these traditional markets offer a chance to purchase fresh farm produce, including homemade cheese, jam and cakes. Both markets are best visited early as they finish around noon.
