We enjoyed coming here to see the Bergers again. Such a delight! Well loved and well admired. The flower beds were well maintained and stocked with lovely blooms.

A very nice monument surrounded by the most beautiful gardens!!! Worth visiting when in Calais! Would visit again.

Great to see the original of this much photographed sculpture. Beautifully kept garden surrounding it.

This is an original Rodin that they just have out in a square! One of the masters of sculpture and you could actually climb onto one of his masterpieces. As an American, where art is kept behind ropes, I found this fascinating. The sculpture itself is amazing and the story behind it (do your homework!) is very interesting as well. There are great photo opportunities with the beautiful Calais City Hall in the background and the amazing garden that surrounds it. You don't need to spend a lot of time there, but it is breathtaking and worth a stop if you're in Calais.

Worth seeing and the very impressive town hall.Not sure wether I would make a special journey to visit but well worth seeing if you are idling a little time away before lunch or the ferry departure

I wouldn't have found this statue half so impressive had it not been for the fact that I looked up the story behind it before I visited. If you're thinking of visiting and have access to the internet I would highly recommend that as it puts this lovely piece in context. The real fascination is in the event this commemorates - without that background it's just a great statue. And it is a great statue, full of emotion and conveying the full burden of the responsibility borne by this group all those years ago. I won't spoil this review by telling you the story but a quick Google will reveal all. The added bonus is the wonderful garden setting and the marvellous backdrop as The Burghers are set right in front of the highly decorative Calais Town Hall (Hotel De Ville).

Rodin statue situated just in front of the magnificent town hall. Check your history on the Citizens of Calais - makes for interesting reading.Watch out for the migrants - they are more aggressive now than ever before.

in a lovely garden setting with a beautiful backdrop of the town hall. what more can I say? definitely worth a wander over, oooo and there is a lovely patisserie just down the hill from it, over the road on the corner.

What can one say about a piece of well-known sculpture? It's famous. It's Rodin. It's large. I liked it.

Very impressive work of art located in front of the opulent Hotel de Ville, all set off by well tended gardens which are re-presented with the change of seasons.
