Hi, Could anybody help we are going over in July/August and what to find out where the hypermarkets(dutyfree)are...

Cheers....

The simple answer is "almost everywhere". Apart from Dunkerque you will see them on the routes around the ports.

If you are going Dover/Calais .... then as you head north towards the port come off at the first roundabout north of the A26/A16 junction. Turn left, and follow the dual carriageway for about

Cheers Phil.....

Many Hypermarkets close at 7 or 8 pm some at 10 pm in Calais area.

The French are not stupid like Brits and and stores close on Sundays and I don't know of any 24/7.

http://www.auchancalais.com/ for details in English. Easy to get to off the Calais motorway. Prices can be a few cents higher on some Calais Prices, just a coincidence that so many Brits go for cheap Prices.

E L'Clerc are our favourite Hypermarkets, Carrefour, Auchan, Some bigger Super U can be good.

Thanks Evans ;-)

"Lclare" is how my French friends say I should say it and I'm also a fan of "Lwoirmurlon", many a good bargain from that fine emporium.

Do you shop there Evans, they even do a reasonable

Le Croc Monsieur ( or however they spell it ) at a reasonable price to.

Use them all the time if available - the general (not de Gaule) was a relation of theirs.

Philip.

If you are not going on a booze trip DO NOT buy Wine in Calis, where else do you think the French get rid of their rubbish. Also consider buying every day wine from a Co-op in 5 or 10 Ltr boxes it is a lot less weight to carry.
