You could fly to Girona - spend a couple of days there then get Catalan Sports Tours to pick you up and take you to the Friday night barbecue at the Cats club house.

We stopped at the hotel Alexander - cheap, cheerful and very central - 2 min walk from the Castillet in the middle of town.

Takes only a day to see all that there is to see in Perpignan - the cathedral, castle, old town etc. Great view from the top of the castle.

Perignan is pretty dead on Sundays - though Easter might be an exception - with no shops and only a few cafes open.

If you like wine tasting then go on the train down to Banyuls - several kiosks on the seafront and a couple of wineries with tours and tasting further up the hill at the back of the town.

According to the German State Railways Timetable website, the fastest possible trip Perpignan - York on a weekday is a mere 11 hours 02 minutes.

Perpignan - Lille - London - York

Dont know but they have a decent RL stadium there

This is the reason why the game has been moved to the Aime Giral, so they can build the new stand at Gibert Brutus. www.edi-tender.com/spigao/Visual ... PLAN21.PDF www.edi-tender.com/spigao/Visual ... PLAN33.PDF Looks like they will have a really nice stadium, possibly one of the best in super league by looking at that picture. The side with no stand, what is that? is it like a media and conference centre?
