I am trying to find the best options to get to Toulouse and hotels there. Has anyone booked flights/hotels yet? Any information about a club trip?

We have booked here in Toulouse..

Very reasonable prices and in the centre of Toulouse.

We booked on flight from East Midlands with ryan air to carcassonne (cheap too).

Going to get the train to Toulouse which is about 50 mins away (13 euros)

There is now 10 of us going.

Flew to Toulouse last week mate. There is a bus shuttle service which takes round 20-25 Minutes and cost me 4 Euros.Runs every 20 Minutes! A taxi is atleast 15€! Was only there for one hour but looks a nice place with a canal that runs through the centre. Sadly Rugby Union has a shop in the Airport though could not see the Book "The Forbidden game" by Mike Rylance in the shop window




Toulouse has a Metro/Underground as well as Buses so most places should be quite easy to get too.

The hotel is great as we stayed there a few years ago when widnes played over there.There is a bus stop about 3 mins from the hotel were you can catch the bus to the stadium and the town square is a short walk aswell.We had a great time over there (except for the game....lol)there is also a smashing irish pub not too far away from the hotel aswell were we had a great night.Enjoy your trip it is a great place to visit.

Stopped at this one when Halifax played PSG in Narbonne a few years ago. Comfy hotel, decent Irish Bar and a good curry house not far away too!!

Yer we are flying from East Midlands to Carcasonne on Wednesday but there are flights direct to Toulouse from Leeds / Bradford (fly out Saturday morning back Tuesday) and they are only £50 dearer so worth a shout as we are with rubbish Ryan air who I hate (Irish rip off merchants).

Cheers, very helpful. How much is Ibis hotel in Toulouse? Anyone staying in Carcassone? We are thinking of two nights in Carcassone, 15th/16th and two nights in Toulouse, 17th/18th.

Paid 151 euro's for 3 nights (2 people)

so basically 75.50 euros each.. good deal I reckon for toulouse centre and by the sounds of what people said on here it is even better!!

yer 5 of us are, nowt booked hotel wise not got the money to book yet.

Don't get caught out with the slump in the exchange rate guys.
I've just had a cracking four days in Holland at a rock gig ( 3 actually ) and when I was at the same venue two years ago the £ was worth 1.4 Euro's, the price of a pint of draught beer was 21. Euro's.
Last week, the £ was worth 1.1 Euro and the same pint of beer in the very same bar was 3.5 Euro's....
I know there's inflation and all that crap and the group I went to see were exclusive to that particular venue for four days so we were a captive audience as they say, but the prices did come as something of a shock

Was good shopping in the UK last week-cheaper than normal Colin!

I went to the Trafford Centre before Xmas and it was full of Irish Coach Trippers who'd come across for the day to take advantage of the Exchange Rate.

Yes, we're going to soak up the French culture too

Carcasonne is great especially the Old castle area and a nice walk along the river. The area has a good selections of wine. Trains are clean and regular. but there is a good motorway between Toulouse and the Spanish border with some good views.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to get to Carcassone airport by train from Toulouse on a Sunday for a 1625 departure?
