We don’t know about you but when it comes to weekends away, we don’t always want to lounge about doing next to nothing; sometimes we want a romantic weekend break that crams in as much as possible ‒ life’s unpredictable, and every moment counts, right? Well, if that’s you, and you like the sound of sneaking in a heavy dose of French-style retail therapy too, why not make the short and easy Channel crossing to Northern France to indulge in a Calais 3-dimensional shopping experience? There’s (1) a whole host of niche and independent boutiques in the town centre (2) a classic French market or two (3) and a humongous French shopping mall for bottle bargains and a whole lot more besides. Even better, your Calais accommodation (with your very own sauna ‒ and complimentary champers too!) ‒ the ‘Cercle de Malines’‒ is a luxury yet inexpensive B&B in the old lacemaking quarter, with a lovely owner who’ll share her local knowledge to help you make the most of your one-night break in Calais.

My favourite outings in Calais
When you come to Calais, there are places that are simply unmissable; unique and spectacular, they're just perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. I love the Grand Site of the 2 Capes, a classified Grand Site de France, is imposing, refreshing, and the view it offers of the sea and the White Cliffs of Dover is simply magnificent: perfect for an intimate stroll hand-in-hand along a scenic hiking trail. If you would like to meet some locals, there's nothing like a visit to the Channel, one of the city's cultural hubs, where you can enjoy a truly excellent glass of wine in the building of the former abattoirs located at the port. I also recommend seeing the view from the top of the magnificent belfry of Calais, with its bird's-eye view of the Bourgeois de Calais by the famous French sculptor, RODIN, and its panoramic view of the sea. You won't be sorry!
