Hi

We're having a day trip from Dover to Calais next Wednesday (we live in south-east Essex). We took advantage of an offer from 'The Sun' (although we don't read the paper!) of £10 for a car by P&O Ferries. They were also offering a trip from Hull, but I think the offer will have finished now.

Apparently the ferry companies are plugging their on-board shops which they say compare favourably with the Calais supermarkets.

We spent a few days at the Holiday Inn, Coquelles near Calais, a year ago - that end of Calais is close to the Eurotunnel and close to the supermarkets. When we go over we tend to drive out of Calais, to a little place called Guines where there's a lovely little restaurant called the Auberge Trois Pays.

And no, we don't buy any cigarettes at all - we don't use them!

Hi wonderfullife, sorry for the delay, I reckon you should catch an early crossing at about 6.30 ish, you will arrive at 8am ish (french time). I love the place but you might not!!!

Hi Cheekymole, thanks for the reply

Wasn't really thinking of going that early, I am on holiday plus 2 kids to get ready.
I'm really after cigs, went to Cyprus last year, bought a load there, but almost running out now, so really need them, but I don't need any booze.
So just need a cheap place to buy them.

Thanks

Just bob up to adinkerke then, you won't find them cheap in France. I think they are about £29-£30 for 200 in adinkerke which is a big saving on over here I believe. Just allow yourself a couple of hours then to get there and back

Thanks for that, will definitely go to Belgium then, although its a long time since I drove on the right hand side, so not really looking forward to that.

Anyway thanks

I find it harder to convert back when I get home!!!
