Rouen to Claremont Ferrand/Millau etc or Rouen/ Limoges/Toulouse etc. The 2nd was favourite and cheaper. Depends on how patient you are travelling. Fuel in the Lot et Garonne was €1.39 (Creyse to €1.41 (Marmande) . Peage obvs more than that but generally, Intermarche fuel is very competitive. If it was me, I’d try the Eurostar and TGV as a) I’ve never done it and b) drops you off in Perpignan. 3 months in advance tickets though so confirmation of the game is critical. Bien sur, aero a Perp, c’est preferable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreux, Chartres then to Peage on 154. I’ve just consulted the oracle and it used to be €50ish each way Peage. Limoges is the easiest drive though. Ive never been over your way Kiggy. St.Gaudens the farthest. If people are going by train and save Tesco credit card vouchers, they can get big reductions on Eurotunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips folks? Thanks in advance Manchester to Carcassone on Fri 22nd (5:30am flight though) back on Mon 25th - £51? Carcassonne is way nicer than Perpignan for a weekend away, easy to get to Perpigan by car or train. If you can get down to Stansted or Luton, flights to Beziers look to be pretty cheap on that weekend too. You can fly from Manchester, but it would be out Saturday back Tuesday.

Otherwise, I largely agree with your selection. By the way, it's Mourgue. I am not sure he’s required. Fair bit of experience in the pack with Bousquet, Julien and Garcia plus Kheillerah and Gigot in the backs. And the Catalan youngsters more than held their own at Saints the other week. So I’d say a perfect opportunity to give them top level experience. I’d actually do the same with England. It’s why Harvard is in the 17. I’d be tempted by a couple of others as well; Oledzski would be a certainty if fit. Acknowledged on the name… and changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively stay in Narbonne - less touristy but v beautiful and closer to Perpignan. Carca that weekend are at home to Albi IIRC though if you want to see two games.
