A veritable green lung of Calais, the Guînes state forest covers nearly 785 hectares. The numerous pine forests were planted there after World War II to reforest an area destroyed by the German army.

Located 15 kilometers from Calais, this small town boasts a rich historical heritage. It was not far from here that Francis I and Henry VIII met for the "Interview at the Field of the Cloth of Gold." In 1785, its national forest also served as the landing site for the first flight over the sea. Don't miss the Clock Tower in its center.

The tower has been perched on the hill of the feudal motte-and-bailey castle since 1763 and offers a view of Calais, the Côte d'Opale, the Flemish plain and the bocage around Boulogne. At its foot is an interactive museum dedicated to the past of Guînes: the arrival of the Vikings, the founding of the city by Sifrid around 800, the meeting at the Camp du Drap d'Or.

Guînes is situated in a green landscape between forests and marshes. The town is known for its good food and is a good base for beautiful walks through "Les Trois Pays". From 1352 to 1558 it was the capital of a powerful county, a vassal state of England.

Beautiful lake, unintentionally artificially created several hundred years ago.

Great place for a rest in the shadow
