Calais and Dunkirk - still worth visiting?

[Champagne Murphy]

Went last year, the only fly in the ointment was the funfair right next to the marina. Never saw a migrant, never heard anything about them. They were certainly nowhere near the car embarkation areas.

Not having visited these ferry ports for 5 years, I was thinking of a cross-channel trip this summer. What they are like to visit now, especially with so many migrants around?

Good morning Sailorman, it's an old thread, but here goes anyway: there is a war museum with lots of Op. Dynamo stuff, plus a ship/maritime museum in the Central Bassin du Commerce, including a guided tour of a square-rigger.
There was also an amazing big old diesel tug , with plans to open it for visitors.

Isn’t France on the Amber + list, meaning you still have to isolate for 10days with tests on day 2 and 8?

Edit. I read it as Tony was looking at going this summer. Oops

The OP was yonks ago.
What is the situation now?

I was there just before lockdown and echo G Fox's comments. There is also a really good brasserie overlooking the bassin.
Of course, Covid has probably changed everything for the time being.
