Tens of thousands of Britons including tourists and truckers are expected to head to France in the coming weeks for their summer holidays.
A great many will arrive and return through the port of Calais, where the ongoing migrant crisis appears to be spiraling out of control and tensions are heightening.
This week there were renewed flare ups between migrants and police on the approach roads to the port that left one officer injured.
Migrants are resorting to ever desperate and more dangerous methods to get aboard trucks with reports that they were hurling stones and bags onto roads in order to slow the traffic and give them a better chance of clambering on board a truck.
