Calais

Did anyone see the article yesterdays Daily Mail UK entitled "Calais migrants may attack tourists" This says the Road Haulage Association were warning Motorhomers and caravaners of danger of attack after migrants hit a driver on the head with a brick, left him for dead and made off in his truck. he is now in a serious way in hospital.Their advice is to keep your doors locked at all times and do NOT stop in Calais. There is now over 700 migrants sleeping rough around Calais and the residents are asking for the french military to disperse them

Plenty of British newspapers about this story, but so far I found nothing in French media. Some websites do have (only since a few hours) a translated version of the Express article. But I found no official French source.
I did find an article about a new jungle at Grande Synthe (Dunkerque Port, but in fact half way Dunkerque and Calais)

I don't know what to think. If tourists may be targets? As far as I know, they have not been. But that's no garantee.
Anyway, keep in mind the advice to stay in your vehicle and call the police if it happens. Call 1-1-2 or 17. At 1-1-2, they should (at least in theory) be able to speak english. If not, say: des migrants m'attaquent (migrants are attacking me).

I was through it on Sunday evening, no issues didnt see any migrants. There were signs saying to slow down due to people and obstacles in the road but again nothing, I did say to the wife however if someone steps infront of me they better be as quick as Usain Bolt as they will become a bonnet ornament.

when you arrive you basically drive out with no checks, on the way back you will have a French soldier look inside the vehicle. Apart from the usual passport checks thats it.

Came through Calais Eurotunnel Sunday night. Spent night in Calais at cite De Europe both at first and last night. Saw absolutely no migrants and felt less anxious about the media reporting than we have there for a few years...also with the fence building that has gone on there, migrants would need to be extremely inventive to get through to the channel tunnel site at least...rest easy
