Calais' Medieval Watchtower

[poliphilo]

We had lunch on La Place des Armes in Calais- at one end of which is the magnificent 12th century Tour de Guet (watchtower)- which is one of the very few fragments of old Calais to have survived a succession of natural disasters and wars.

*nods* I've been to England once, in 2003, and hope to get back some day. I also want to visit Waterloo some day, and the Louvre, so that means crossing the Channel anyway. If I do get back across the pond at all, I'll try to work it all in.

We wanted to go to Waterloo, but it was closed.
