This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Calais, Between Two Shores

Let’s be honest—Calais’s seafront just wouldn’t look the same without the rows of beach chalets facing the English Channel. Battered by sand and salt-laden winds, these charming little huts are part of a long-standing seaside tradition. Back in more modest times, they offered bourgeois women a private space to change into beachwear away from prying eyes. Over the years, they evolved into practical shelters—perfect for storing towels, deck chairs, and beach gear after a sunny day by the sea. Full of nostalgic family memories, these modest holiday cabins are still highly sought-after. So much so, in fact, that securing one today might cost you a pretty penny!
