    Depends what it costs.

    Only 20 quid for a car and up to 9 people, plus free box of wine and buy one get one free on ferry meal means it doesn't cost a lot

    Not sure about Calais but generally the only thing really cheaper is wine and beer etc, spirits + specaility brands are the same price if not slightly more.

    You could always go and reclaim Normandy as sovereign British soil!

    i think its getting to the point where the closest places to the tunnel arent really much cheaper on fuel, cigarettes and alcohol.

    it would make for a fun day out though, and is pretty inexpensive.

    Theres some good WW2 bunkers, etc just south of Calais, think theres also a underground V2 base nearby. Drink wise I wouldn't bother, smoking wise probably still worth it but Belgium is cheaper. Don't forget the £ to Euro is crap at the moment. For day trips Boulogne is a lot more historic

    Le Touquet is about 40 minutes down the road and is a lovely little town.

    Also on the way there you can stop at the Auchan hypermarket. Far cheaper than at Calais and better stuff. I can't remember exactly where it is though.

    The old town of Boulogne is rather nice as well.
    If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
