There is one large attraction in the Calais region - the battlefields and cemeteries of the WWI battles. Between Amiens and Lille, the Somme battlefields are still a major pilgrimage destination, and some of the Somme trenches are kept intact to help the visitor better understand the battles and conditions that were faced...see Calais Travel Guide before choosing a gite or holiday rental in Calais.

What to expect from a Calais gite holiday? Nord-Pas de Calais is one of the 26 regions of France. It consists of the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais, in the north and has a border with Belgium. Until the end of the 20th century both the region and the department were called Nord. The region was once part of the Southern Netherlands, within the Low Countries, and permanently became a part of France in 1713. The historical provinces now included in Nord-Pas de Calais are Artois and Flanders, designations which are still frequently used by the inhabitants.

It is an extremely densely populated region with some 4 million inhabitants - 7% of France's total population, making it the fourth most populous region in the country - 83% of whom live in urban communities. Its administrative centre is the city of Lille. Other major towns include Valenciennes, Lens, Douai, Béthune, Dunkerque, Maubeuge, Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Arras and Cambrai. (Wikipedia)
