Charles de Gaulle, the former president of the Republic and leader of Free France, had a special bond with Calais. This had a sentimental background, for Yvonne Vendroux, later Madame Charles de Gaulle (affectionately called "Aunt Yvonne" by the French), originally came from the port city in the Hauts-de-France region.

Construction of the Sacré-Coeur church began in 1867, and although it was not completed due to lack of funds, it was opened for worship in 1871. Work did not resume until 1877, finally being completed in 1892 with the addition of the bell tower.

The construction of the Sainte Germaine church was a long project, fraught with pitfalls and uncertainties. It was born from the will of two men: Monsignor Lobbedey and Abbot Constant Hanse, who wanted to open a new place of worship in an outlying district of Calais, linked to the industrial activity of artificial silk. A subscription was launched in 1918 and the first stone was laid on July 29, 1928. It is the work of the architect Julien Barbier (1869-1940). Facing construction problems (marshy soil), its construction extended over a long period and was completed in 1986 with the construction of the belfry by the diocesan architect Mr. Twitchett and the Payeux company in Arras. Inside, the church presents vast open spaces evoking the inspiration of early Christian basilicas. Its interior is quite refined, yet presents a unified decor and a very consistent stained-glass program. These stained-glass windows, the work of Louis Barillet, Théo Hanssen, and Jacques Le Chevallier around 1934, are protected as historic monuments by decree of February 3, 1997. The movable objects (baptismal font, Stations of the Cross) are of fine quality and blend perfectly into the building. Listed as a historic monument, in its entirety, by decree of October 13, 2021.

The Calais Protestant church was built during the interwar period, inaugurated in 1934, and restored to worship[1]. A first Methodist church, located on Rue du Pont-Lottin in Calais, was built in 1868 for the French-speaking faithful of the Methodist Church of Saint-Pierre-lès-Calais. In 1938, this community joined the Reformed Church of France, and the organ was restored and then transferred. The only liturgical elements present in this Protestant church are the pulpit, the communion table, an open Bible, and a cross.

This beautiful town hall of brick and stone is located in a beautiful green setting. It was designed in Flemish Renaissance style with Tudor influences, and built on the border of the original town of Calais and the town of Saint-Pierre, to seal the merger of the two municipalities. Although construction began in 1911, the town hall was not completed until 1925 due to damage in WWI. It also suffered damage in WWII. Inside, a stained glass window illuminates the grand staircase and commemorates the retreat of the English. The belfry has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2005. It has been completely restored and equipped with a lift. At 75m high, it offers a panoramic view of the city and the harbour. Since 1961, it has been fitted with an electronic carillon, which plays Gentille Annette van boieldieu every hour.
