Calais

From the CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.

Calais is a city in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. It is the closest point on the French mainland to England; Dover lies across the English Channel (La Manche) just 32 km (20 miles) away. The town has a major cross-channel ferry port and the French entrance to the Channel Tunnel is nearby. Calais is popular with British day-trippers arriving by ferry or Channel Tunnel shuttle trains, because France has lower taxes on alcohol and tobacco. Large warehouse supermarkets have sprung up on the outskirts of Calais just to serve these British "booze cruisers" who return to the UK with their suspensions groaning under the weight of cheap booze and fags (cigarettes). While most tourists view the town as simply a port there is a little more to the town.
