Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

They had warned me at the tourist information office that the church wasn't always open. Luckily for me, it was when I got there.

Extensive garden. A little overgrown, but pleasant to walk through. Imposing church building, viewable from several different angles. So far, so good.

Inside, it FELT old. Not unpleasant, just as though it had seen a lot of history and, unlike many churches in the area, not been strongly affected by it. Old,old stones, still in their original places. Old pictures. Some comfortable modern touches, but not so far removed from its medieval origins that I couldn't imagine them.

Fairly, plain and simple compared with other churches we had encountered in France, but bags of atmosphere.

Blinking back into the daylight, like arriving from another time. The gardens again. Quiet neighbourhood. Not many tourists make it here, it seems. Glad I did.

They have just finished the renovation works, and the church looks very impressive now. I have nopt seen a church of similar construction in the region.

Catholic Church very near centre of Calais and very accessible to find. Seems to be very well looked after.

The Eglise Notre-Dame was on our short list of places to see while visiting in the Calais area of France. Our party was very disappointed that it was closed due to renovations late in 2014. We walked around the outside of the church, which is not particularly impressive. We also didn't feel completely safe in that area of town as there were groups of men congregating on many of the adjacent streets. Glad to hear that the renovations are complete and if in Calais again I would visit.

Not the usual heavily decorated church of Europe, this church has large metal fencing of black and gold around the altar. Only some stained glass but it had so many burning candles that created a beautiful atmosphere. Closed on a Monday its just opposite the tourist office at Jean Bart.

The eglise Notre Damn is a magnificent church, rebuilt following the damage it suffered during the war. The exterior architecture is superb and is equaled by the ornate decoration inside.

This great building has finally been rebuilt and restored enough to be open to the public, & available for all to enjoy. The brick outside gives nothing away - inside the old stone columns soar from the shining floor to the beautiful new roof, the ornate altarpiece and metal railings gleam, there is gilding, there are votive candles, & the whole feeling is of a place of worship in use. A welcome counter has leaflets in lots of languages, history books about Calais, & a charming guide to answer questions. The day we were there the temporary exhibition was all about the history of the rose, very nicely done. The huge freshly restored oil painting of the relief of Calais is also worth seeing. Outside the Tudor Garden is maturing well, the arches weathering to silver grey around the colourful flower beds, & there are young fruit trees, possibly unusual varieties, all labelled. The herb garden is less successful, looking decidedly in need of love, but no doubt that will be sorted. It was nice to find so much seating in the garden areas. The water cistern is interesting in the context of the size of the Calais fortress.

Before posting this I looked at what others wrote and I didn't realize that DeGaulle was married here. That's history, along with all the bullet holes on the outside of this church. The garden area out back is impressive as well.

Happened to chance around this church and it just drew me in. Located near Place fed Armes ..it's got a huge reservoir next to it. The church is very peaceful having an alternate alter for services. The ceiling does not have columns and ir supported by arches. The latice window is in black and blue.
Worth sitting in and imbibing the energy around
