How is a stupid question?
People were shooting guns and ramming police. I have had two near misses with migrants (or really crap French drivers who know nothing about driving) driving recklessly.
I often stop at hotels in Calais and there is a large migrant and police presence, so who is to say what could happen if in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Anyway Gromit perhaps you should go to the probably Gypsies thread if you think this is a pointless question.

I usd to go to Calais three or four times a year. ABout six years ago I was waiting for my ferry in the port when the area was "steamed" by migrants who tried to storm aboard a ferry. I am robust but it was a frightening experience and not one I plan to risk again. I don't care how "nice" it is alleged to be now. I won't be venturing there until all the illegal migrants are shifted (i.e. never).
PS. For reasons I have expounded many times previously, there is no chance of the French rescinding the "Le Touquet" agreement (which, incidentally, is nothing to do with the EU but is a bilateral agreement between France and the UK).

Hi Talbot
If you don't mind a drive down to Dieppe, around 108 miles from Calais, and a 2 hr car journey, then travel back...Dieppe to Newhaven, which is just short of 4 hrs......longer, but if that bad over there, and the police can't guarantee travellers safety, then maybe you should pick an alternative route. Be safe.
The Calais, of old, is sadly no more.

// So if there's no trouble when you go, there is never any trouble?
Is that really how it works? //
Yes. I have been to the Manchester Arena literally hundreds of times without being blown up by a mad suicide bomber. The events you want to portray as the norm, are in fact exceptional circumstances. I went to France on Tuesday and did not encounter Afghans shooting. As I suspect tens of thousands have done this year without any event. Of course anything is possible, just not very probable as you want to present it.
