If you mean the small station at the north end of Arnage then I think that is now a Total station. |

No, I think it's just that the site only lists diesel and 95. But I'm not up on petrol much as I don't use it! Most stations sell higher octane unleaded since the Super (4*) finally went altogether last month, as far as I know. But don't quote me.

Did I hear correct that the garage (By Super U) at Caen Ferry Port now accepts UK cards? |

Apparently, it's the Esso station at Ouisterham by the Champion supermarket on the road out of Caen that takes UK cards - although there may be others. See the 6th post here http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/888214/ShowPost.aspx |

Thanks Deb, the only problem we have is a fill up cost over 600 Euros so asking a local to pay and we give them the cash usually doesn't work, We know when we arrive the garage will be closed but we hope to use it on the way back.
See you Monday.
