Eurotunnel have also teamed up with some attractions so you can get deals such as tickets to waterpark Aqualud for €9 and historic centre La Coupole for €4.50.

Do note that the Eurotunnel's different to the Eurostar - the Eurotunnel is a car shuttle service, while the Eurostar's the pricier passenger shuttle. For more details on the above offers, visit the special Eurotunnel page.
