dead easy to find, english tv, cheap, clean etc etc

to find it all you have to do is look for the big water tower which has Calais painted on it and take that exit off the motorway and there it is.

If you need any further help I'm a regular calais booze cruiser

It is a little further out, but we stopped over in St Omer. It's really quick to get to on the autoroute, and a nice small town - much better than calais for an evening out!

We stayed here:-

But we didn't book, just turned up. They didn't seem that busy, but the hotel was nice and clean. The staff speak English. I think you can book via the logis-de-france website. It was €65 per night for a double room with bath.

I don't smoke but do know that Adinkerke is the best place for baccy. Head towards dunkerque and beyond and you'll find it 2 minutes into belgium (about half hour drive from calais but well worth it) When you come off the slip road turn left to the roundabout and then take the 2nd exit where you'll find loads of tobaco shops also most spirits are cheaper there than in calais

check out

Is it good, whats your best buys?

Carrefour you just need to look and find as things change all the time
Tesco (don't forget your clubcard) has special offers this time of year
Loads of stores, go sports is you want cheap fishing stuff
you just need to go and look really

Auchan on the other side of calais too where you'll find sainsburys who also have good offers on wine etc
