France Calais: Calais is a
town and major ferry port in Northern France in the department of
Pas-de-Calais, of which it is a sub-prefecture. Although Calais is by
far the largest city in Pas-de-Calais, the department's capital is its
third-largest city of Arras. The population of the metropolitan area at
the 1999 census was 125,584. Calais overlooks the Strait of Dover, the
narrowest point in the English Channel, which is only 34 km (21 mi) wide
here, and is the closest French town to England. The White Cliffs of
Dover can easily be seen on a clear day from Calais. Calais is a major
port for ferries between France and England.
