Using my sat nav just to try find a grocery shop and I passed budgens and as I was trying to find a safe place to turn around I happen to find Tesco which to my delight had a big car park which was sign posted very well! So I got a great spot next to the entrance and at first grabbed a basket as I knew this was a small store but just going down one aisle I then decided I needed a trolley as there was more items you can get through this store! I ended up doing my whole weekend shopping which was great for me as I didn't have to venture anywhere else and the queues for the till was very short and staff were very friendly!

Due to it's location in Calais this place is popular amongst people who want to get alcohol at a cheaper price than in the UK. Many of the staff speak English well enough to help you if you don't speak much French, and are most polite about it, (I once had someone try to insult me there in English, so I responded by insulting him in French, then he showed me what I was looking for, so it could be a sport there, heh).

It's a cute little French cafe on a corner near the arch/end of the high street. The shop has amazing fresh baked pastries and other French foods that are ready for grab-and-go takeaway, as well as the best baguette sandwiches I've ever had. I usually get the baguette with prosciutto and it comes with lettuce, tomato, and I believe cheese mayo (?) depending on what you order. The baguette was the freshest I've ever had and has such a great flavor. It's getting a little cold out now but there is also dine in options in the cafe, including a nice garden area. The atmosphere is calming and peaceful and I love coming here whenever I'm in town. The prices are so affordable considering the quality and amount of food AND the lovely service you receive. I definitely recommend this place!!
