The Carrefour hypermarket


cite of Europe picture 2

Inside there is a very large Carrefour hypermarket and the usual gift shops and stalls.

Individual specialist shops selling wine, cheese ,coffee and clothes.

Tesco used to have a store here selling beer and wine it is now closed.The value of the Pound as fallen against the Euro plus high fuel cost. So the price difference between the UK and France as got a lot closer

Two years ago when we first visited the centre you had a job to get on to the car park.

Most of the cars would be from the Uk. If you look at the photos taken at 11am on a Thursday morning you can see a big difference.

I think the reason is if you come by car even for the day. You can save a lot of money by travelling a few miles inland and shopping where the locals go.

We saved on fuel and food we also found that a case of beer was cheaper.

Than the cash and carry warehouses set up for the day trippers.

There are plenty of Hotels to stay at in Calais if you want to stay longer. A selection of restaurants in Calais
