We normally have a late tunnel crossing and park up at Cite Europe. In the morning we head for Auchan, Calais to fill up and do a bit of shopping. This time I'm thinking we could go straight to the Auchan and park up quietly in a corner til the morning (we're booked on the 23.20 crossing so envisage getting to the car park around 01.00 local time). Has anyone stayed in the Auchan before?

Thanks
Jill

the service aire is in the filling station opposite, and that's why it says no overnight parking. However, I haven't seen any notices about no overnight parking at the main store parking. I'm not sure what the area is like at night security-wise?

Thanks for the quick replies folks. We'll probably play safe and go back to Cite Europe Smile

I have stopped overnight at Auchan, no problems whatsoever, however I do prefer the yacht basin, so handy for the restaurants. Very Happy

Why bother? If you've been happy at CE then stay there - it's only a 5 min drive to Auchan.

TBH we'll be shooting off to the Vosges first thing so don't intend to spend any longer than neccessary in Calais. If we could get fuel at Cite Europe then we would get it there but it's height restricted (Our 1st trip to France invloved us driving round the Cite Europe complex for almost an hour trying to fing a way into the fuel Laughing )
