SL RD 16 | Catalan Dragons (A - TOU) : Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:17 am  

Anyone started planning theirs?

We normally stop in Lloret and get the bus to Perpignan, but Toulouse is a 4 hour drive from Lloret, so that's not really an option.

Just wondering if Toulouse will be lively enough for a 3 or 4 night stay, or if there are better options reasonably close at hand?

Toulouse is a lovely place, definitely enough to do round that area to fill your time, hopefully planning the trip to the game myself, should be fairly easy with there being an Airport.

I went on a rugby (union) tour there a fee years back. Nice place to go. It's not cheap to stay and drink but there's enough there to entertain people. The locals were great

Couldn’t find any press coverage about this. Is the match in Toulouse ‘cos Catalans are going “on the road” similar to the Wigan / Barca match?

It’s a double header with Toulouse.

Currently planning my Stag Do for that weekend in Toulouse. Wanted to go to Toronto but its looking like that might be the honeymoon now.

I'm sure the future Mrs Haund will be delighted.

Her reaction was “Is it warm?” Haha, Niagra Falls mightve swayed it though.

looking to organise our trip to Toulouse for the game but I am not good at this. I was wondering if anyone as got theirs sorted and wouldn't mind passing a few tips on 4 of us going.

Ive got Toulouse and Toronto all booked. Think Perpignan will be a miss this year. Fri to Mon for Toulouse. Got an apartment booked in Toulouse city centre at quite a reasonable price.
