Ardres is located 10.1 mi by rail S.S.E. of Calais, with which it is also connected by a canal . It is one of three towns that make up Les Trois Pays, or "Three Countries", the other two being Guînes and Licques.Ardes was located next to the Pale of Calais, held by the English from 1346 to 1558, and as a result was an important trading and military post. The 1520 meeting between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France known as the Field of the Cloth of Gold was held just over the border at the English-controlled town of Balinghem. The town has been an important market for cattle. In June 1546, it was the location of the Treaty of Ardres, an agreement between Henry and Francis that ended the 1542 to 1546 Anglo-French War.
