Friday 27 July evening, Dover to Calais, until Monday 13 August evening
nothing booked or arranged but we expect, after "Eastenders"

Have you checked the prices of Eastenders against those of Auchan ( both have websites) ? No point in trekking there if cheapest prices are where you are going to stay overnight.

We find the cheapest prices are actually in the super- or hypermarkets away from Calais and the coast altogether and would not dream of stocking up before we went deeper into France.

Nor would we Grizzly! Wink

We learned the hard way (you too probably?) by stocking the fridge on the first day with tempting items, only to wander past a shop the next day with even more tempting delicacies. We even ended up throwing food away (which we hate to do!) because we kept on being tempted and couldn't eat out of the fridge fast enough.

Now we carry just a couple of meals to ensure we are not caught out, and ensure they are something that won't spoil if it's not eaten for a few days. Then we make shopping for food a pleasurable part of the holiday, even if we do it "en passant" during the day.

Nearly as enjoyable as eating it later!! Very Happy

Cheers

We never bother with the Calais area just drive on by for a few hours. We like to get much further south and into the good weather and little quiet places Very Happy

We are tied to mid August for two weeks. Had same fortnight last year. No booking, no need.
Bassillica at Liseux sounds interesting, is there now an Aire there?
