Hi, off to france this sunday, just thought on and remembered that most if not all hypermarkets are closed on sundays and I wanted to fill up on the other side in Calais. anyone know where is open or should i just fill up in the UK paying extortionate prices!!!!

many thanks for any info

I need diesel, which i do know is cheaper over there, thats why i did want to fill up there, i can't decide what to do now UK or france??????????

Hypermarkets are usually open on Sunday from around noon until around 2:00 pm. not sure exactly as Sundays are best avoided.

They will be significantly cheaper then the autoroute stations.

Didn't try my NW card in the automated pumps.

If you really want cheap diesel then go to belgium if thats not too far out of your way, its about 20% cheaper than France.

Having said all that your only going to save about £25   -   thats not a lot compared to the the overall cost of you holiday. Fill up on the way back by all means.

thanks for all the advice, will prob fill up here as we have got a long drive to the loire region, don't want to chance it as well as the fact that my sister and her family are coming along too and the've never camped in france before, wouldn't want to put them off

once again thanks for the replys

I filled up in Dover before crossing £71.65, filled up in Luxembourg for the return £48.55. No problem with sundays.
