Parc Richelieu, Calais (must see)

Built in 1862 and redesigned in 1956, Parc Richelieu is the first public park in Calais. This is due to General Berthois who planted many trees on the fortification of the east of the city. During this period Berthois disappeared in the middle of the great works of the years 1880-1890. In 1859, Charles decided to develop this space and plant more, while taking into account the existing trees. Untill now, Calais has undergone several improvements: installation of gates and railings, some statues, construction of a bandstand and a new monument to the dead has been erected, very different from the previous one.
