At Gravelines- thanks to @chaser (1 Viewer)

Our last night, after almost 7 weeks in France.
We've had a brilliant time and the weather has been great.
Had the dog wormed, this morning , then having read chaser 's high praises, we thought we'd give Gravelines a try.
Well chaser , we're highly impressed, and it's even better that the pay machine is out of order .
Had a great walk on the beach this afternoon. Now sitting watching the sun set.

Most of the Aires we stopped at on the way down a couple of weeks ago were like that. I think they did it due to Covid last year,, unfortunately they turned the water off as well.

You can get a nice meal at the hotel in the square it's only a hotel chain but good.

Gravelines is one of our favourites. L’eclusier is a very good restaurant and not bad price wise. Great view along the water from there.

Yes, I'd been hoping to eat there, tonight, but it's not open. Next time, maybe.

Who's going to start the unfounded rumour (invented by me just now) that Camping Car Parks are taking over all the aires and the bourne at Gravelines?
I like staying at Gravelines (but preferred Cité Europe for buying half a dozen bottles of beer and a couple of glasses at Terre de Boissons. And I don't mind CCP aires. Perhaps CCP should open up at Cité Europe? And there's another unfounded rumour.

If anyone is interested in Christmas markets, and also thinking of getting a taster of France and Aires, you won't go far wrong getting a five day discounted tunnel crossing, and visiting gravelines, it's the best market we have been to, it fills the whole square and the surrounding streets, it's brilliant , like a real old fashioned market.
I think it starts on the thirteenth of Dec but can't be sure about the actual date but I can easily find out if anyone is interested.
