Location

Pas-de-Calais is a département of northern France.

Administration

Pas-de-Calais constitutes, along with the neighbouring département of Nord, the region of Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

History

Pas-de-Calais was created in 1790 out of the former provinces of the coastal Boulonnais and Artois to the east.

Some of the costliest battles of World War I were fought here. At Vimy Ridge is Canada's most important memorial to its fallen soldiers.
