Derek Uzzell Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 This July 2015 article refers to the Calais campsite that is in the process of being constructed (hence the current 1€ reduction in price at the adjacant motorhome aire because of the disruption, noise, etc. caused by the bullding work). http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/region/nouveau-camping-de-calais-ouverture-prevue-en-2017-ia33b48581n2933612 Apparently it is planned that the campsite will have a dedicated space for ‘food trucks’ to park so that people can buy provisions, and there is talk of a free shuttle-service to Calais centre and bike hire (presumably like ‘Boris bikes' in London).

Brians dad Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks for the update Derek. We always used to like going on our last night in France to the Cote d'Argent restaurant by the old aire for a posh meal. It will now be a bit of a hike there, so we may have to rely on a greasy spoon parked outside if we arrive too worn out from wine shopping. However, I will reserve judgement on the catering offerings until I have tasted the quality of the frites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 If you’ve got money to burn, the Restaurant Aquar’Aile is pretty close to the new Calais aire/campsite. Not all on-line reviews are favourable, but that’s equally true of Au Cote d’Argent. A less expensive alternative not too far away might be https://fr.tripadvisor.be/Restaurant_Review-g1080541-d3680650-Reviews-Au_Gout_du_Jour-Bleriot_Plage_Calais_Pas_de_Calais_Hauts_de_France.html#review_405693882 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
