always booked it off my own back, usually look around for the cheapest deals.

as daz and SG say,perpignan is more expensive than the costa brava, but it's a better atmosphere and a nicer place.

Would be my first time if we go over! Always been my intention last couple of years now my lads old enough to go and enjoy it. Good time of year too

Re: Perpignan : Fri Oct 24, 2014 3:10 pm  

the price we've paid is for 5 nights, the club is for 3 nights. so that's £200 cheaper (which we will spend on beer plus a bit more no doubt), and if you a beach canet is a euro away on a bus. as you walk around Perpignan you will see fans you have never met before, and as the weekend gets closer more and more turn up. the locals are friendly, the bar owners have got to know us and have a good laugh with us. this year we were asked for a photo with a bride and groom (tried to talk him out of it lol), we sang "falling in love" for them and they loved it (didn't understand the FARTOWN bit though). our motto for failed AA members is "what happens in Perpignan stays in Perpignan" unless it can embarrass a few (I've still got the video meast )

Hoping to go next year - great to see this played in July so weather should be fab!

Couldn't afford it this year but plenty of time now to save up and go for an extended weekend.

Great place Perpignan with Canet and Collioure nearby for day trips. Can't wait!

Re: Perpignan : Thu Nov 06, 2014 1:45 pm  

Hotel booked, staying at the Hotel De France as recommended!

What is the best way to get there? We are looking at flying from Leeds or Manc into Barca. Train looks complicated so was thinking about hiring a car?
