Toulouse are playing London Irish at home on Sunday.
"God damn you Butters!!!!"
You got our hopes up for nothing.
Ah well, rookie mistake.
Toulouse are playing at home against Llanelli that weekend but it's on the same day as our match. The only Sunday option would be Biarritz v Borders.
Doesn't exactly whet the appetite like Toulouse - London Irish does it?

Not going to Agen, but if you're stuck for a route, fly to Stansted and then to Bergerac, which is only 1hr 30 from Agen. Just checked for you and it's £70 return from Stansted going out Fri and back Sun.
Ditto the flights out Firday, Back Monday. Got the three night special (15/16/17 December) in Ibis Centre, Agen for €99, not including brekkie. The TGV stops in Carcassone, and travels west, through Toulouse before stopping at Agen. Also available, lots of other local trains.Donny Brooke wrote:We're flying to Carcassone (Direct with Ryanair for €138)Flash Gordon wrote:How the fock do you get there though?
Sheepshagger has done some research and it should be handy enough to get a bus - train to Toulouse and then onto Agen
The other option is to rent a car of course

I thought I was doing well paying €126.
Good news on the train front.
Of course if you stay for 3 nights, the money you're saving on the flights will go on accommodation...Donny Brooke wrote:What's this three night special thing?CRAZYDAVE wrote:Ditto the flights out Firday, Back Monday.

Antone interested in the following proposistion:
Fly to La Rochelle, on the Sat. arriving 9.10am
3 hour 15 minute drive to Agen arriving in plenty of time for the 4.30pm KO
Overnight in Agen.
2 hour drive to Carcassone for a 1pm flight direct to Dublin on Sunday.
Inc. car hire this is working out at well below €200 (depending on how many sharing the cost of the car hire).
This doesn't include accommodation of course but it is still going to work out a lot cheaper than the Killester Travel rip off.
I don't mind the driving but it would be good to share a bit of it.
If you are interested pm me
ps this is of course all dependant on the permission from the ball and chain of course but at least I am only away for 1 full day.

Looks nice enough, a typical French country town, nothing fancy but quaint enough.
I might do a day trip to Bordeaux on the Sunday though.
I was in Bordeaux for a day a couple of years back, it's a nice city, it was being dug up at the time to put a light rail system in but that should all be finsihed now though!Donny Brooke wrote:Check out the tourist siteepaddy wrote:We passed through Agen on the train on our Tour De France to get to Toulouse.

For a single traveller it's €585 for a one night stayover
I'm doing the trip for a three night stayover for about €310.
Ridiculous!
