February is the beginning of the tourism season in Calais.
While it may yet be too cold for many visitors outdoors, a must-see attraction opens for the season during this month. The Musee de la Guerre de Calais was a command post for the Germans during World War II and has since been converted into a museum depicting the era. This exhibit closes at the end of April so February visitors should put the Musee de la Guerre de Calaison their Calais itinerary.
Fine dining, bars and shows make up Calais' exciting nightlife. The restaurants range from authentic, traditional menus specific to the region to very expensive fine dining which is comparable to sophisticated restaurants anywhere else in the world.
The average daily temperature is 41.5°F (5.3°C).
The average low temperature is 38.3°F (3.5°C).
The average high temperature for February can get up to 45.9°F (7.7°C) on clear days.
The sea is still too cold for swimming so, for those who would rather not sunbathe, winter may be a more preferable time to visit Calais' beaches.
