  1. Dear Sir. In 1765, the Mozart family sailed from Dover to Calais on Aug. 1, but they had to stay at Calais until the 5th (at least) since they had a concert there on the 4th at the hotel of the Duke of Croÿ. When they left Calais exactly is unknown, but the were at Dunkerque on the 9th & 10 th. Therefore, they wouldn't be at Lille before the 11th.
