Today, communications are an essential asset for company development. St Calais has the resources to become a large centre for exchanges between the Parisian area, the west and the centre of the country:

  • 2 motorway entrances: "l'Aquitaine" A10 and "l'Oceane" A11 which becomes A81 towards Rennes.
  • St Calais will soon be within proximity to 2 important new motorways: Calais/Bayonne and Alençon/Tours.
  • 2 High speed train lines: Le Mans 20 minutes away and Vendome 30 minutes away (more than 36 High speed trains every day).
  • The most direct line between Brest, Rennes, Le Mans and Orleans.

St. Calais is home to a local network of industry with which the Ateliers Calaisiens has built up a close partnership; this partnership also extends throughout France and around the world (Germany, United States, Australia, etc.).

The Ateliers Calaisiens is located just a few minutes from the town centre on R.N. 157 Orléans -- Le Mans.
