The Dragon of Calais

The Dragon of Calais is a spectacular articulated machine that strolls on the seafront, animated by the Compagnie du Dragon. The Calais audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this creature of wood and steel, a flagship attraction and a modern symbol of the town.

The creature of wood and steel of the seafront

The Dragon of Calais is an impressive animated machine, a monumental creature of wood and steel that strolls majestically along the seafront. Several metres high and tens of metres long, it carries passengers on its back, walks, moves its head, spits smoke and water, under the amazed eye of the spectators. Inspired by the universe of monumental mechanical machines, it has become a flagship attraction and a new symbol of Calais, which attracts visitors and renews the image of the town. Seeing it come alive facing the sea is a spectacular and magical experience.
