Calais is a city at the northern coast of France that is featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Summary
Calais has been reskinned in update 1.39.[1] Calais was first featured in Euro Truck Simulator Gold Edition, and serves as the access point to the United Kingdom from continental Europe. In that game, all cross-channel movements must be done via Calais. While several new channel crossings are introduced in Euro Truck Simulator 2, Calais stands out by offering the most abundant choice of connections. There are two ways for truckers to cross the channel (the ferry and Channel Tunnel train), as well as two ways to go to Paris. In addition, another new minor road follows the coast towards Brussels. Thus, when the player picks up cross-channel jobs, the in-game GPS often routes the path via Calais. Calais becomes a fully-functional city, with several facilities available.

The Channel Tunnel terminal is connected to the to the southwest of the city. Both the port and the railway crossing end up near Dover in United Kingdom, with the train taking less time but the ferry allows a bit more rest time to truckers.
East of the intersection, another minor road branches off towards Duisburg, crossing three national borders (France – Belgium – Netherlands – Germany). The 
continues from the at that point, and runs towards Lille.
