The sea may be too cold this time of year for swimming and other aquatic activities, but Calais provides many other exciting attractions. There is much to see and do in this region of Northern France and it is close to many other beautiful, interesting cities and towns.
The temperatures in Calais are mainly cool, especially in January. The resort actually has less rainfall than other regions of France; however, it is foggier, with a climate comparable to that of London's during the winter months. Due to this fog, the resort experiences fewer hours of sunlight per day than most other regions.
January is an excellent time to enjoy Calais' many cinemas. Moreover, tourists can take a short drive to nearby Lille for an unforgettable theatre experience. Calais is extremely concerned with keeping its culture alive and this is most apparent in these venues.
