What’s the port of Calais ?

The Port of Calais is a French port located on the border between the English Channel and the North Sea. Only 38 km from the British coast, it’s one of the shortest crossing points between continental Europe and British islands, making the Pas De Calais route an important link between France and Great Britain.

First leading port for cross-Channel traffic and continental Europe's leading passenger port. Just under 9 million passengers crossed the Channel from the Port of Calais in 2017, while almost 43 million tonnes of merchandise transited from the Port of Calais to Dover.
