La Compagnie du Dragon

Beschreibung

Designed by François Delarozière, the Calais Dragons have become an iconic symbol of the Calais coastline.
This monumental 72-ton structure comes to life before your eyes, brought to life by a team of stagehands who control its movements with the precision of a master craftsman.

The creature does more than just walk: it breathes fire, smoke, and water. Its eyes, eyelids, ears, and wings move with striking realism, creating a magical and unique interaction with the audience.

Two ways to enjoy the experience:
- A ride on its back: Climb aboard the terrace set on its back (capacity of 48 people) for a panoramic stroll 12 meters above the ground. You’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of the beach and the ballet of ferries in the Strait of Pas-de-Calais.
- The show on the ground: Watch the creature move daily on the beach forecourt for free. A permanent visual spectacle that amazes young and old alike.

A glass-and-steel building that houses the Dragon when at rest, as well as a shop, a café, and a workshop where you can observe the maintenance operations of this fantastic engineering feat.
