The same thing happened to me a couple of years back and I had to cancel the Ryanair flights to Carcassonne as I was taking my 8 year old with me and it would have meant him missing another 2 days of school in addition to the 2 I'd already got permission from the school for. Plus had I gone with what Ryanair offered as an alternative I would have had to book two extra nights hotle in Perpignan and 2 extra days on the hire car. The only saving grace was that Ryanair let me cancel without any penalty. Fortunately for me, I had some airmiles and re-booked with BA to Toulouse so I could still take advantage of all the other stuff I'd booked and already paid for (car hire and hotel) otherwise it would have cost me a load of money not to go. I vowed then never to use Ryanair again to get down to the Catalans game. This time, I've used airmiles again to Toulouse with BA, it's not ideal but at least I can rely on the flights!

Brian, Similar to us but we're spending two nights in Beziers (Fri & Sun) and the one in Perpignan. Thought we'd explore Beziers as we've spent plenty of time in Perpignan before.
Should be a good trip

Just out of curiosity really, but has anyone taken up the club organised trip? The one they were advertising at the open day. I know it was quite expensive and I imagine most people will find cheaper alternatives.

I'm doing Thurdays - Tuesday in Lloret De Mar, flying to Girona from Manchester. Staying at Almirall apartments £111 between two of us for 5 nights not bad at all.

If you are coming across to France for the match against the Dragons why not spend a few days in St Cyprien, which is just down the coast from Canet and only 25 minutes from the stadium.

St Cyprien is the official seaside resort of the Dragons and has a long history of rugby league. Your players are probably staying at the Golf Club in St Cyprien as this is where visiting teams normally stay.

If you PM me I can give you information on properties available to rent and details of transport to and from the stadium. The properties are especially suitable for couples or families.

Our local Dragons supporters group will make any visiting supporters very welcome.

Warning re car hire from Girona.
Most companies,including Firefly/Hertz and Budget EXCLUDE taking car into France.
This is a recent problem.
As far as we are aware Europcar still allow it

crippling prices for single travellers as it stands im not going unless prices drop nearer the date
