Can someone please give me directions to the City Europe overnight parking from exiting the tunnel at Calais please. We have never used it but as it will be dark next time we arrive in France would like to park asap after arriving.
 
Come out of tunnel and join motorway towards Bologne. As soon as you get on the motorway the next exit to Sangette. Come off at that exit and take a left at the roundabout at the end of the exit road. Go under the motorway over the next roundabout then left at the roundabout. Follow signs to Citi Europe. 1st roundabout turn right Aire just down on the right.

Nice bread/cakes: walk out left of the carpark/Aire 100m up on the right, 1st building you will come to

No need to go on motorway. As you leave the train follow the trafic and in about 4 to 500 yds you will see a sign on your right that says cite' europe. Follow the slip road to a round about, take the exit marked cite' europe. I believe it is the 2nd exit. Follow this road for about half a mile. You will come to a round about with a Lidl on the left. Take the 3rd exit just before the Lidl alongside the MacDonald. Carry on for about 400 yards the aire is on your left. Look out for large banana shaped banners. You won't be on your own. Good luck.
 
Yes as xsparks says no need to go to motorway.
On exit from train, Take the first branch off to the right (signposted to Cite Europe), left turns on the next 2 roundabouts (third exit as going around roundabout anti clockwise) and a left turn into the dedicated motorhome parking area.
The entrance to Carrefour supermarket will then be opposite and you can wander around and start to enjoy being away.
This is what it looks like as you approach, you will turn left across the oncoming traffic.

Edit : lost screenshot so I’ll get another for you
Here you are, turn left between the yellow markers

Don’t panic when you think you have driven too far, it’s a strange journey. And it’s very odd when you get up in the morning and you are virtually parallel parked to the terminal. I recommend Steak and Shake if you arrive before the restaurants close.

We are in Cite Europe now and it’s quite full up. its easy to find if you follow the above directions. We are on the tunnel first thing in the morning ?
 
Thank you all. We usually cross in daylight & first stop is somewhere near Rouen but thought this time we would try City Europe as it will be dark when we exit the train.

when you take the right hand slip road in the dark it will feel like you have gone the wrong way, it goes very dark and looks like you are driving through fields

it really is OK ?

I still don’t rate Cite de Europe as highly as others but have used it three times so it can’t be all bad ?
 
Van parking is directly opposite Carrefoure on the Boulevard du Kent

Take the first junction to Cite d'Europe (about 200yd after you merge with the cars off the same service and well before the motorway).
The second junction is a roundabout - take the second exit (in at 6 o'clock out at 10).
The third junction is a roundabout leave at the third exit (in at 6 out at 9). This is the Mini dealer roundabout. Proceed passing Mr Wok on your left with McD's and Gaumont on your right. Onwards you have the multi-storey car park on your right. Towards the end of the m-s car park as the road rises you will see the giant bananas and need to turn left between them.
