HOW MUCH???????????

It's not too bad when you consider the days there. If you look at flying to and from perpignan on this site it's almost that amount for flights alone. http://www.skyscanner.net/flights/man/p ... urce=CJ_UK And if you like trains then a journey from liverpool to perpignan will set you back a cool £440 It's a bloomin expensive away leg.

A couple of times we did a very cheap Easy Jet flight to Carcassonne from Liverpool. Picked up a hire car outside of Arrivals, then a pleasant scenic drive to Perpignan about 80 mins.
Think you can get a train as well from Carcassonne station to Perpignan, but you have to change at Narbonne which adds time to the journey about 120 mins.

Thanks for that and yes please post the link.

A mate of mine who went over for another game just booked the flight from Liverpool to nimes, got free shuttle to nimes train station, then train straight in to Perpignan. The flights on Ryanair cost £90 for return flights.

He stopped two nights (can't remember hotel) at £55 per night. £18 for match ticket.

So with the train tickets I'd say he did it for £250.

About 30 miles, we use to watch a rugby league game at Carcassonne as well. Problem is with the air fare being very cheap it gets booked up fast
