Looking forward to my first trip in the D3 to France. We always go to St Omer as I hate the push and shove of the Brits in Calais.

We spend a long day, driving 40 minutes inland on the N43 to St Omer. Start with a snack and drink in the town. Call in at the Auchan hypermarket.

Travel to the mountains to Cassel where we have a leisurely lunch over a few glasses of local vino.

Casual drive back calling into a few supermarkets on route to make sure we have stocked up completely.

Ferry back with dinner on board.

Then home to sunny Devizes.

Think I will go and book now, the cellar is looking a little bare!

Regards

Chris

That's very similar to the way we did it. It's certainly nicer than the free for all in Calais!

We don't have quite such a long day, but still make time for lunch at the coast in Wimereux, and we go to the Auchan hypermarket that's just off the A16 near Boulogne. Being a Saturday, it's obviously very busy still, and there's quite a high proportion of Brits gathering in the wines and spirits area, but it's a world apart from the Calais shops. It seems quite a lot cheaper than Calais too.
