France - Euros Trip


Widnes Two Hats

Recommended Posts

In 98, we stopped in Aix en Provence for the Marseille game. Beautiful little place, good bars & restaurants, friendly locals & Shit loads of fountains for pouring bubble bath into :D

 

I wouldn't bother with Lens, it's a shithole. The key thing is getting to these places before the herds, better for getting accommodation & touting tickets cheaper.

I'm considering flying to Nice for the R16 game on the 27th, which may or may not involve England having a bit of sun and then moving around France dependent on how things pan out. Will probably end up in Paris for the final with no expectation of getting tickets but just being in and around the tournament for a couple of weeks.

The 16th-20th looks a bit "intense", you in car or on train?

We're flying to Bordeaux to start with and staying 5 nights. The Sweden Ireland game is a bit of a pain because we're having to get a return train up to Paris and come back early the next day for the next match in Bordeaux.

 

The rest of the trip we're based in Lyon, so it'll be easy to get to St Etienne, a long day trip for Marseille and then the last game is in Paris so we'll get the eurostar back.

 

One flight out, one from Bordeaux to Lyon and the rest is all on the trains.
