Eurotunnel and Cashpoints

We're driving to Annecy in France via the Eurotunnel in the summer. Being an eager moneysaver, I want to make use of my Nationwide Flexaccount to obtain euros from a cashpoint as we come off the train.

Are there any cashpoints close by or do we need to drive into the centre of Calais ? Even better are there any cashpoints in Folkestone dispensing Euros ?

    Cite Europe is right next to the terminal in Calais, follow the signs, park at the Carrefour end and there are two cashpoints in there. It's the one near the Carrefour CS desk that works for us Nationwide flexers
    I haven't got one!

    Carrefour is shut on sundays but the Cite Europe complex will be open as there are restaurants, a cinema etc. There are 2 or 3 cashpoints near the restaurants, which are at the opposite end of the centre to Carrefour . Not sure which banks they are though, sorry

    Maybe you could get a few Euros from a Post Office here, commision free, before you go, to save the urgency of finding a bank straight away.
