LE CHANNEL, SCÈNE NATIONALE DE CALAIS
Read moreLe Channel is the cultural powerhouse of Calais. Promoted to the status of "Scène nationale" in 1991, the association took up residence in the town's former abattoirs. The renovation of these buildings in 2007 gave a boost to its programming, which combines circus, culinary arts, concerts, theater, street arts... These quality shows are intended to be convivial and festive before being intellectual. The Channel also features annual highlights such as Les flâneries sonores, held in February, and, in some years, Feux d'hiver during the last days of December. Like its program, the association's buildings are surprising: this cultural venue has retained its industrial soul, and since 2009 has housed a bar, restaurant and bookshop. The former water tower has been transformed into a belvedere, offering a breathtaking view of Calais after 122 steps. The marquee opens and closes its colorful canvas like an accordion. The Channel staff are happy to give guided tours: just give them a call to make an appointment.
LES 4 ÉCLUSES

In addition to organised concerts, several cultural activities are also carried out by the association throughout the year.

CINEMA GERARD-PHILIPE
Read moreThis room belongs to the owner of the Rex in Abbeville. As in Abbeville a good selection of movies with, of course, the movie stars, but also a selection of smaller films equally interesting. Monday and Wednesday: Meeting at 450 € very attractive to enjoy the cinema cheaper. As in Abbeville, the room has a very interesting week of British cinema and, in summer, open air sessions! And then because the sun is not always on the Picardy coast, having a cinema in the corner is always a very good idea.
