Cite Europe
About
Cité Europe is a modern shopping centre perched adjacent to the French terminal of the Channel Tunnel at Coquelles, just north of Boulogne‑sur‑Mer. Opened in March 1995, the mall spans a vast footprint with over 140 shops, a hypermarket, a 12‑screen cinema complex, and a wide array of restaurants and cafés. Designed by architect Paul Andreu, its architectural language echoes the tunnel’s sleek form, creating a distinctive backdrop for shoppers and commuters alike. Free parking for more than 4 000 cars accommodates visitors arriving by car, while robust public‑transport links—including buses, car‑pooling, and a nearby train station—ensure easy access for locals and travellers. Whether you’re a weekend shopper, an avid cinema‑goer, or simply passing through from the tunnel, Cité Europe offers a convenient, all‑in‑one destination.
