The Calais Dragon is an impressive mechanical sculpture installed on Calais beach, which has become a major attraction in the city. This gigantic creature, made of wood and steel, can breathe fire, smoke and water. It's a fascinating show for all ages! Designed by the company La Machine, it also offers rides on its back, allowing visitors to discover the seafront in an unusual way.

A monumental Dragon has washed up on the beach of Calais. Frightened, the inhabitants tried to counter the advance of the beast in the city and it was only after three days of spectacle that dialogue was established. Appreciating the music that was played to soothe him, the Dragon decided to settle permanently on the seafront, becoming in fact the Dragon of Calais! The Compagnie du Dragon welcomes you all year round to travel aboard…
This is the major artistic and cultural component linked to the Calais waterfront rehabilitation project. Imagined at the request of the City of Calais, the latest creation by the artist François Delaroziere
