Depends on the direction you are travelling. If toward Belgium or Lille go off at A16 at J54(first exit after ferryport)into Dunk half a mile to Auchan. open 08.30-22.00 Mon-Sat.

If going toward Calais go straight over A16 from ferryport into Bourbourg a couple of miles & you will see a Carrefour supermkt. open 08.30-19.30 closed lunchtimes open Sunday morn. Both take UK cards 24/7.

There is also a petrol station just before the A16 with supermarket prices. Turn first left at the roundabout with the Kyriad and Campanile on it and there is a petrol station a few hundred yards down on the right. Huge forcourt so fine for caravan access.

Theres a services before you leave tunnel complex but not supermkt prices tho. If you go down A16 toward Boulogne theres a services, expensive fuel. If you want supermkt prices go past services, off at next junction(J36)into Marquise, up to roundabout you will see an Intermarche supermkt in front of you. Also a Carrefour supermkt thru the town, both take UK cards.

Coming from ferry you turn left towards Dunkirk at hotel roundabout. There is a Shell station half mile on right. Last time I looked it was dearer than supermkt tho. Its not 24hrs but daytime its handy if you need fuel straight off ferry.

Personally if you are looking for cheap diesel en-route to Switzerland from Dunquerke I would be looking at even cheaper diesel than France.

Go to Belgium. Luxembourg will be cheaper but as you are in Belgium 20 mins after getting off the boat at Dunquerke not really worth stopping in France.
