Fort Risban dates from the end of the 16th century and was built on the site of an English tower: the Tour de Lancastre (Tower of Lancaster). The tower served to defend the harbor entrance. After an explosion in 1800, which caused serious damage to the building, major work was carried out in the first half of the 19th century. The fort was then restored and expanded. In 1921 it was declassified and purchased by the city in 1938. Fort Risban is on the list of protected buildings. Restoration work was started a few years ago.

Pluviôse Monument

Highlight • Other

Le Pluviôse est un monument de bronze commémoratif, situé entre le fort et la plage de Calais. Cette œuvre allégorique du sculpteur Émile Oscar Guillaume fut commandée par l’administration des Beaux-Arts de Calais, au lendemain de funérailles, afin d'honorer les 24 marins et les 3 officiers qui perdirent la vie, lors de la terrible catastrophe du Pluviôse, un sous-marin français, premier de la classe Pluviôse. Il fut construit par l'arsenal de Cherbourg : mise sur cale le 8 octobre 1905, mise à flot le 27 mai 1907 et mise en service le 5 octobre 1908. Il coula le 26 mai 1910 au large du port de Calais, percuté par le paquebot le Pas-de-Calais, faisant vingt-sept victimes. Dérivé du Narval, le Pluviôse mesurait 51 mètres de long, possédait sept tubes lance-torpilles et pouvait atteindre dix nœuds en plongée et quinze nœuds en surface.Ce bronze, qui fut inauguré le 22 juin 1913 en présence du vice-amiral Jauréguiberry, représente un ange, plongeant son bras à l’intérieur du Pluviôse qui émerge encore au-dessus des flots, pour y recueillir l'âme des marins restés prisonniers de l'enveloppe mortuaire du sous-marin. Le socle, en maçonnerie de pierre de taille issue du Boulonnais, fut exécuté par l’entreprise calaisienne Viandiez Père et Fils, sur des instructions très précises du sculpteur. Sur la face du socle on peut y lire ces lignes : « Aux marins du Pluviôse morts pour la Patrie ». Les noms de toutes les victimes y sont aussi gravés, ainsi que celui d’Eugène Rivet, pilote du port de Calais, qui remorqua le submersible jusqu'au port le 11 juin 1910. Il est à noter que le maire de Calais dut plaider auprès de la Commission départementale des Monuments Historiques, afin que le monument échappe à la mise en fonte décrétée par le gouvernement de Vichy, lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Inauguré en 1913, sur l'avenue de la Plage1, il sera déplacé en 1980 d'une centaine de mètres, pour se retrouver de nos jours au milieu du rond-point de l'avenue Poincaré. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Pluvi%C3%B4se

Highlight • Monument

The Tom Souville monument in Calais pays tribute to this famous figure from the city's maritime history. Tom Souville, born in Calais on February 24, 1777 and died in the same city on December 31, 1839, was a corsair and rescuer, who was the origin of the first Calais lifeboat in 1819. He started his career at sea as a boy of 11 years and quickly became an experienced sailor. Between 1811 and 1815 he is said to have earned more than 5 million francs from his conquests. After his career as a corsair, he became captain of a “malle” (the ferries of that time) and led an active civilian life as a rescuer, member of the municipal council and administrator of the hospice. The monument to Tom Souville commemorates his adventurous life and his contributions to the city of Calais.

Calais Canal

Highlight • Other

The Canal de Calais is a canal in the Pas-de-Calais department that connects Calais with the Aa at Ruminghem.
Construction of the canal began as early as the 17th century, but it was not fully operational until 1758. In the 1980s, the canal was widened over 2/3 of its length.
The canal connects the Pas de Calais in Calais via Coulogne, Les Attaques, Nortkerque, Audruicq and Ruminghem with the Aa, near the hamlet of Pont-du-West. At the hamlet of Le Pont d'Ardres there is a branch to Ardres.
The canal is 30 km long and has 3 locks.
