Cité Europe, the largest shopping centre in Northern France boasts 140 shops, 15 restaurants and a 10-pin bowling complex all under one roof. Visitors can enjoy an extensive range of top quality shops, including ladies and gents fashion, childrens’ clothes and toys, housewares, gifts, perfumes and sports equipment.
The massive Carrefour hypermarket is a big attraction offering an amazing choice of French and international produce. Stock up in time for Christmas at Carrefour or the new wine store Terre de Boissons, where there is a vast selection of wine, champagne, beers and spirits from around the world. You can even try before you buy. Added to this there are many French shops, plus well-known UK brands such as C&A, The Disney Store and Toys r Us.
The 15 on-site restaurants cater for all tastes and budgets. For “food on the move” McDonalds is on hand, or try something more French and take lunch at Flunch. For those wanting a more leisurely meal, choose from a traditional style French Brasserie, maybe Italian or even Chinese.
Once again, the shopping centre is open on the Sundays before Christmas, plus the Sunday following Christmas on December 29th.
Cité Europe is located next to the Eurotunnel Terminal, off junction 43 or 41 off the A16 motorway. Shops are normally open Monday to Saturday, closing at 8.00pm (except Friday until 9pm) and the Carrefour hypermarket closes at 10pm. The food area, Cité Gourmande, is open from 10am – 10pm daily, including Sundays. www.citeeurope.com
