Places to visit in Marquise photos and guide



The town of Marquise is about 15mins drive form the ferry port of Calais.

If you leave Calais on the A16 towards Abbeville take the exit at junction 7 for Marquise.

The town has a large square with plenty of parking where you can walk round the small shops.

It also has 2 large hypermarkets which sell a good range of products plus cheap petrol / diesel.

If you come over to France from the UK for the day it is worth travelling the few extra miles. The prices are much cheaper than Calais.
