can you help is their a metro/subway/train that goes from carcassone to limoux ?

Yes there are trains that run from carcassonne to limoux think the best one to get is about 1pm

I bloody hope so



Saley, lead the way lad!

Using my limited french haha i think this will get us there

[urlhttp://www.voyages-sncf.com[/url

type in carcasssonne to limoux on the 17th its all in french but you can navigate around it if your familiar with online bookings etc

last train leaves before the game at 13:02 and take 30mins costs 5 euros

Return last train leaves at 18:30 so about an hour after full time and again is 5 euros

Limoux train station is 225 meters from the ground

Hope that helps

Make sure you have a ticket before travallng also, as they put inspectors at the other end when there are events on and the fine I think is 20 times the fare you should have paid.

Hello from a Brit in Limoux, Reading these posts it's clear that there's a lot of uncertainty about travel and access to Limoux. When we played Halifax and Wigan here I felt it was a pity that most fans didn't stay around town to celebrate (or not). The problem is lack of accomodation and difficult public transport. I was wondering whether there would be enough people interested in staying on in Limoux after the game in one of the local bars? If so, perhaps we could arrange a bus to take folk back to Carcassonne later in the evening?

That sounds like a good idea no idea of numbers though of how many are coming?
how many would you need to make this worthwhile??

im up for that keep us informed please

Looks like a nice place.... www.aude-aude.com/content/view/39/48/

This a clear breach of this boards AUP.

toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack. ... x-Flassian just to add another web link, Limoux has two railway stations, Limoux-Flassian is the one very near to the ground. The other is in the town centre and the train takes 3 mins to get from the ground to the main station. The "train" at 13:02 is I think a bus, the 12:34 IS a train. Google Chrome and Firefox will translate the whole page in to English. Google maps shows you the ground and the clubhouse, if you use stree view you can do a virtual walk from Lim-Flassian station past the ground.

Great idea,lets do it!

Sounds spot on to me. In fact it was certainly my intention to stick around Limoux as long as possible after the game rather than dashing back to Carcassonne. Will be getting there as early as possible on the Saturday as well.

sounds good to me. i'm sure there will be enough of us to warrant a bus being put on

OK. I'm researching costs of local private bus hire firms and availability and I'll post something again this evening.

Like i said before please count me in ttfn

OK folks. I have a local coach firm who are willing to provide coaches. Each coach takes 50 people. They are suggesting two departure times from Limoux to Carcassonne (stopping at three strategic points in Carcassonne to leave people close to their chosen hotels). Suggested departures are midnight and 1.30am. (The bars in Limoux close at 2am on Saturday).
We need therefore a minimum of 30 people per bus at 10€ each to make it cost effective.
There are about a dozen café/bars in Limoux, with six of those on the main square. The main square is walking distance from the match venue. I've spoken to several bar owners and they're into the idea of you guys staying on after the game and making you welcome.. There are also a lot of restaurants within walking distance.
We need to work out how I can collect the cash to pay the coach company. Either someone your end could organise collecting 10€ per person in advance or I could my Paypal account perhaps. I would hate to have to find myself paying for the buses if no one turns up!
Any comments?

add another 2 to the list of travelling leythers to limoux.

see you there

Seems a good idea to me to stay in Limoux after the match and then get a coach back to Carcassonne.

I am up for it and if every other Leyther who is interested and who is going will pm their agreement or otherwise we will be able to see if it is viable. Any coach money I could collect before the game at a named watering hole in Limoux before the match..

Sounds a great idea to me, count us in.

like i said count me in
just worked out were my hotel is ibis carcassonne centre hope im not alone lol
