Auchan
Hello,
I know the one in Dunkurque is 24/7 and accepts UK cards, not sure about the others.

It's only about 50 miles from to Le Touquet.chrisboyo said:We are crossing via the chunnel at 1.30pm Sunday 31 May![]()
I was thinking to stop at Auchen in Calais to fuel up before going to
Le Touquet aire for our 1st night
Does anyone know if this plan is ok, with regard to french sunday opening hrs

From my experience the opposite is true and that most garages and supermarkets do take UK cards after hours or during the day at the unmanned ones at the smaller supermarkets.raynipper said:Most French 24/7 garages and supermarkets do NOT take UK cards..after hours!!!!!
Make sure you have enough to last at least till Monday and even then some are still closed.

To answer the original question, although the Calais Auchan store itself will be closed, the fuel station accepts UK cards 24hrs a day. It also has a handy motorhome service point and is usually the cheapest fuel in the area. A very convenient stop off point before or after your ferry :wink: .chrisboyo said:We are crossing via the chunnel at 1.30pm Sunday 31 May![]()

I agree, there are many supermarket garages that still only take Carte Bleu in the 24 hour lanes.raynipper said:Most French 24/7 garages and supermarkets do NOT take UK cards..after hours!!!!!
