Travelling to Toulouse, how are you getting there ? : Thu Feb 02, 2017 9:42 pm  

I have been looking at travelling down to Toulouse by train, via the Eurostar and changing in Paris.
Have you done this journey ? any advise ?
Has anyone found any cheap options for getting to the game ?

I've flown to Toulouse via Amsterdam that was pretty cheap

Flew when we played Les Catalans there, not going this year but I'd highly recommend going if you can, great city, prosperous due to the aero industry and cultured because of the University's.
I also had one of my funniest ever purchases there, a bottle of Karlin Klevin aftershave for five euros from a flea market on the Sunday morning after the game where Eden scored his miraculous 105 metre try.

Train...night in Paris on Saturday 15th...night in London on Tuesday 18th, all organised before Christmas with the usual military precision...

Just a question of checking the usual websites, Hull Trains, Eurostar, TGV etc. prices might be a little more expensive now due to the timescales...

We've done the trip to France by train for the last 7 or 8 years, sociable if you're in a group...

Boringly, flying from Luton on Sunday 16th, back Tuesday 18th. 2nd trip having been there in 2013 for the late, late win over Catalans which lead to a great night.

Rovers v Fev Good Friday...leave 5 mins early to miss queue....straight down to Stansted...Premier Inn... early Saturday flight to Toulouse.

Same hotel as last time 'Greg Eden hat trick' year. Short walk to Carrefour cafeteria for a quite wonderful poulett et pomme frites , OK that's all I knew how to order in Food French but boy it was good.
