So who is going to toulouse then and what are your plans?

I have just booked flights from leeds/bradford - toulouse 14-21st july. Going to stay in hostels and cheap hotels for a week. Going to take in toulouse, carcesonne, bezeirs, narbonne.

Not made our plans yet PW. I don't wan't to do a week as we've got our family holidays planned already. I'd like to just do the weekend so Jet2 no good. Once Ryaniar drop their entry prices then I'll look at flying to Carcassonne and travelling to Toulouse from there.

In terms of the places you suggest visiting, I'd recommend them all. Carcassonne is fantastic. Try and stay in the old citadel if you can...fantastic!

Beziers is also a walled city but nothing like Carcassonne. We've used Beziers as a stop off many times on our way to Barcelona.

When we played Narbonne a few years back, we stayed at a resort called Vias Plage. It was nothing flash but adequate. Just one street (at the time), a few bars, few places to eat and a nice beach. Depends what you want.

unfortunately not going to be making the trip. holidays already booked and funds running dry. should be a good trip and would like to visit there next seasons game.

We have booked Jet2 flights from Leeds on nthe 18th getting there day of the game then staying until Tuesday 21st July

Thats what we are thinking of doing, my mate suggests camping but it may be roasting in July?

Similar standard as Travelodge and usually a mile or two out of town. About €60 - €80 depending on hotel: www.louvrehotels.com/en/index.aspx If you really want budget but clean then you could go with Formule 1. Usually get a double bed and a bunk, but usually shared shower/toilet. Very very clean though. About €40 a room www.hotelformule1.com/formule1/index.html

Anyone know where the organised club trip hotel is/name?

where do toulouse play? I put what I thought into google earth and it just brings up a piece of grass so not sure that is right,... Looking at booking our hotel but wanted to know in relation to the stadium..

That's them nailed on for a franchise then

I thought it was a "bag of grass"........................

Looks like we are going, 5 of us so far.
Flying from Leeds Bradford on the Saturday.
Looking forward to it, anybody else (other than those above) going???

When u back fax4life what day?

Tuesday - don't worry there are people in the house while we are away.
You going?

Going thursday coming back tuesday. Booked to go early so we can climatise and booked the return for tuesday just incase theres any added on time. (well thats what im telling the mrs)

We've decided to tie this in with the family holiday, so myself and my good lady and our 10 year old twins are flying out on the Saturday taking in the game and then travelling down to Canet Plage on the coast for 2 weeks.
Really looking forward to it. I expect that the majority of the people on the outward flight will be Fax fans and familiar faces so that should be good fun.

It will be great we should all arrange somewhere to go for a drink before the game for when get there.

we have just booked too... 4 of us.. flying to carcassonne on friday and staying in toulouse until monday.. Looking forward to it!!
