    To be honest it's just not economically viable anymore - once the cost of traveling is included any savings are likely to be negligible, & the only savings may be on diesel if you fill up in France

    Belgium / Luxemburg is the place for ciggies these days

    A decent cremant is worth bringing back if you want a nice sparkling wine at sub-champagne prices.

    This site is a joke!
    In 1986 my mate and I packed up our tents with the intention of doing a spot of camping in France, so we took the overnight bus from Glesgie to Laaaandan then the ferry from Dover to Calais where we pitched out tents in a local campsite intending to only spend a night there. We stopped by the tourist office to get info where there was a rather nice looking French burd who later on I bumped into in bar. Well the outcome was we spent the week in Calais thus not making it any deeper into French territory (well not the country anyway). My poor mate didn't seem to mind as he was just happy to get out of the country and drink Jupiler beer...

    Now for a sensible reply to the OP.

    Eastenders is closed so dont head there. There's a majestic next door to it but they werent offering much different from what you get in the UK.

    This is what I do. Hit Carrefour or LeClercs and just buy a random selection of French wines paying no more than 5 euros per bottle.

    Got a year's supply last time for a couple of hundred quid and I haven't come across a bad one yet.
