Calais Guide: Shops-Majestic

Why not stock up on French specialities whilst in Calais?*

Summer Sales

Many shops in Calais have summer sales which last from the 25th of June to the 2nd of August, and unusually many stores will be open on Sunday the 29th of June. Lots of bargains can be found, especially for clothes.

Les 4 Boulevards (the 4 B’s), located in the centre of Calais around Boulevard Jacquard, is the perfect shopping experience with 50 boutiques, as well as Bars and Restaurants.
The Designer Outlet Centre on Marques Avenue (close to our Coquelles store), situated by the Eurotunnel is great for reduced designer clothes.

Cheese and Delicatessens

La Maison du Fromage in Calais Nord is perfect for stocking up on specialty and local cheeses, and even locally-produced jams and mustards. As Oz Clarke said, "Maison du Fromage is a reminder that one of the reasons for going to Calais is to have a really good day out" (Daily Mail, December 2006).
On Rue Royal do not miss Délice des Mets, a French delicatessen, you’ll find a selection of Foie gras and caviar and lots of other specialities, not available in French Hypermarkets.

Chocolates and Pastries

In the centre of Calais, along the Boulevard Lafayette, you can find fantastic pastries from the baker and patisserie 'St Pierre/Artisan Copaline' and from 'aux Chardons de la Cote d’Opale'.
As well as these 2 shops you can enjoy the delightful Chocolats de Beussent next to la place Crevecoeur.
Still in the Centre of the town, on Boulevard Jacquart, you’ll find another wonderful bakers/patisserie called Aux Délices de Calais.
In Calais Nord au Royal Chocolat is another delicious sweet and chocolate shop.

Lace

For an authentic souvenir from Calais go to Royal Dentelle, a specialist in Calais lace, table cloths, napkins and especially lingerie…This is the last lace shop in Calais, situated in the Boulevard Jacquart, 50 meters from the town hall.
