  This is up there with the best, Calais desperate to get visitors and with very little money in the pot for an advertising campaign have come up with this gem. Once the national tabloids get hold of this they will wring it dry and it hasn't cost a cent of French taxpayers money.

  Desperate measures to take the heat away from the migrant v lorry problem that the French simply refuse to deal with on a long term basis.

  Bit of a cheek to claim this as an exclusive but Calais traders won't mind it getting coverage in a mass circulation tabloid.

  The reporter who usually reads the Sun and local internet sites was probably on holiday.
