Why choose Calais for your road trip
Calais — a city worth exploring
Calais sits just 34 km from the English coast across the Strait of Dover, making it the closest French city to Britain and a natural gateway for cross-Channel travellers. The city's iconic Tour du Guet, a 13th-century watchtower on Place d'Armes, has stood guard over the old town for more than seven centuries. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Calais, home to an impressive lace-making collection that reflects the city's textile heritage, while Rodin's famous sculpture Les Bourgeois de Calais stands proudly outside the Hôtel de Ville. For a breath of fresh air, Parc Richelieu offers manicured gardens right in the centre, and the long sandy stretch of Calais Beach is ideal for a seaside stroll. Boulogne-sur-Mer lies 35 km to the south-west, perfect for a day trip to its medieval walled old town and Nausicaá aquarium, while the wartime tunnels of Cap Blanc-Nez are roughly 15 km west along the Côte d'Opale. The flat coastal terrain around Calais makes driving a campervan straightforward, with wide roads and easy access to the A16 motorway. Through Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome directly from local owners in the area, giving you a personal touch and flexible pick-up options that suit your schedule. Renting a campervan here means you can roll off the ferry and start exploring northern France without delay.
Best time to visit
Calais is a rewarding destination throughout the year. Summer brings the Calais Beach Festival and the Fête de la Mer in July, when the waterfront comes alive with music and seafood stalls. Autumn is a wonderful time to explore the Côte d'Opale with fewer visitors and golden light over the cliffs. Booking a campervan through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform often means more competitive rates outside peak months, so a spring or early-autumn trip can be especially good value. If you plan to visit Calais in summer, we recommend reserving your motorhome early to secure the best choice of vehicles from local owners.

It was our first time traveling with a camper, and renting this one for our trip around Mallorca turned out to be an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. The camper was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, which made our first camper trip easy and enjoyable. Communication with Gustavo was excellent from start to finish. He always responded very quickly, was friendly and helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He also shared some fantastic recommendations for places to visit and park around the island, which made our trip even better. We couldn't have asked for a better first camper experience and would highly recommend both the camper and Gustavo to anyone planning a trip to Mallorca. We would happily rent it again in the future!

It was perfect. The owner is a very nice guy who picked us up from Funchal to get to Machico and explained everything about the car. The car included everything that was needed for our roadtrip. The tent is spacious and the amenities were of good quality. Overall it was an amazing experience to enjoy the island this way!

Il viaggio e l'esperienza con il van di Luis a Madeira è stata fantastica. Se hai un po' di esperienza alla guida con questo van puoi raggiungere tutti i più bei posti di Madeira nonostante le strade non siano sempre semplici a causa di ripide salite e discese. Il proprietario, Luis, è una persona adorabile e molto gentile e disponibile, sempre pronto a rispondere a qualsiasi dubbio. Madeira è molto van friendly e abbiamo dormito in posti con viste mozzafiato senza nessun problema. Nel van troverai qualsiasi cosa di cui tu possa aver bisogno, assolutamente consigliato!
