Hi,

We're going through the channel tunnel tomorrow morning just for a few hours shopping at Cite Europe.

I feel a bit stupid asking but even though Cite Europe is virtually outside the tunnel, last time I tried this and followed the Cite Europe roadsigns it seemed to take us a very long way around.

On the way back I also had trouble finding the route to the tunnel which is really annoying when it's apparently so close.

Can anyone give me an idiots guide to the best route?

I know the address of Cite Europe is 1001 boulevard du kent but my somewhat outdated Tom Tom doesn't seem to recognise this.

John.

drive off the train go under the euro tunnel exit sign first exit on the right follow signs takes 5mins max.

Out of the tunnel youve got 2 routes
1) keep in the left lane take the slip onto autoroute take the next exit your there, go a bit further and theres another slip to the outlet mall (cheap designer stuff).
2 Keep in the the right lane at the autoroute take the first exit (a matter of 500 metres) at end of slip road turn left at roundabout under autoroute, across first roundabout hard left at second, filling station on right,carry on down that road, Lidl is 500 yards on right(cheapest for wine) carry about a mile just after the Fort the Auchan hypermarket slip road is on right (cheaper for wine cheese etc than Carrefour at Cite europe) after the Auchan slip there is a roundabout straight on this takes you to back entrance to Cite Europe, If youve visited the Auchan the exit route will bring you back to the roundabout on main drag, turn right you again will be on track for Cite Europe on left.
