Abstract

This article describes a research visit to the Calais and Norrent-Fontes immigrant and refugee camps, both located in the department of Pas-de-Calais, northern France, between September 19th and 20th, 2016. The visit took place a few days before the French government carried out the dismantling of the Calais camp, also known as the “Jungle of Calais” (Jungle de Calais), on October 26th, 2016. After briefly presenting the history of the camps, we describe our impressions of the visits and discuss their current situation.
