Campervan rental in Calais

Sitting along the coast of the English Channel, Calais is the main gateway into France from Dover in England. It is here that travellers will find the ferry port and the Eurotunnel le Shuttle, but the city is also a great place to start a self-driving tour of the region.

Many often miss Calais, as it is seen predominately as a port town, but it has much to offer. It acts as a great stepping-stone between France and England, and makes a great base for a tour around both countries. A motorhome is the best way to do this, as it allows travellers comfort on the road.
