Overnight stops to and from France

We are off to France later in the year via. the Euro Tunnel - first time we have travelled this way.

Can anyone recommend:

a) a good CL handy for the outbound trip from Folkestone.  Train is 09.55 so don't want to be too far away.

b) An Aire within say an hour of Calais where we are not likely to run into problems with migrants etc.  11.55 hrs. train.

We are returning to Calais via the A20 and A16.

    Aire Baie De Somme on the A16. We use it every year and never had a problem. You can check it out on Google earth.

    It takes about an hour to get to Calais (Tunnel) with a van on the back.

    I would use the Baie de Somme both ways by crossing the night before. Better, less hassle than anything this side of the water and free.
