A tailor-made Event for 20 to 1,500 guests in presence of the Calais dragon


Are you looking for a place that will make the difference? Are you looking for a simple and user-friendly program? A collaboration with the Compagnie du Dragon inevitably leads you to discover the universe of François Delaroziere and his teams behind impressive shows and urban projects. The Calais Dragon is part of the large family of monumental machines that make the Dragon forecourt and the Calais seafront a magical place for your receptions. Monumental, facetious, unforgettable, poetic... the qualifiers abound to designate the Calais Dragon as the ideal guest for a unique event.

Our Company offers you the organization of tailor-made moments within the Dragon forecourt, at the mouth of the port. Ranging from a private visit or trip to the team-building operation, including dinner, cocktail, screenings, we accompany you throughout the creation of your project to make your event an experience worthy of the marvelous Machines of the artist François Delaroziere.

Finally, the accessibility of our spaces is a key point in the success of your events: three vast, completely free car parks surround the Dragon forecourt. They are also equipped with electric charging stations for compatible vehicles.

Choose Calais, seaside resort of the 21st century


Calais is increasing its initiatives to consolidate its attractiveness and status as a seaside resort. The city can therefore draw on a number of assets: beautiful landscapes, preserved natural areas, fine sandy beaches and historical heritage. The redevelopment of «Calais LA Plage» is based on three federative levers. The playful dimension for an intergenerational appropriation of the place, sport historically linked to beach life, and finally culture with the permanent urban theatre of our machinists..

Calais la Plage unrolls its boards on the seafront with a host of activities! Walkers find themselves there between the dike along the beach, the jetty advancing into the sea or the Perré Risban along the entrance to the port, but also the brand new belvedere. Rest areas are also planned, including a large solarium. For families and children, playgrounds are also available, not to mention sports: fitness equipment, workout area, city stadium... Calais LA Plage also hosts the largest skate park in Hauts-de-France (4000 m2)
