Ah, we are stopping near the centre of town, but won't be getting there until mid-afternoon, so not sure if I'll have time to find my bearings to get the bus but if anyone could provide me with the number, that'd be great. Other than that, what's the taxi situation like?
Also, what time is kick-off. The Giants website says 18:00, but the tickets say 18:30?
Many thanks

bus outside le castillet fairly regularly, i think its the number 1 bus but could be wrong, or its a 20 -30 minute stroll from the centre. |

Thanks Meast - I've now sorted out transfers to the ground with CST.
We're noobs to perpignan so is there anywhere in particular that the rugby fraternity congregate before the game.
Also any bars/restaurants recommendations would be great!

Enjoy popping your Perpignan cherry. We came up with a few recommendations for the Sheffield fans last week - [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=71&t=525394&tsmp=1335882768see here[/url |

| Usually we drink around place de republique then later on everyone tends to congregate at grand cafe de la poste, you cant miss it, head for le castillet and its literally at the side/behind le castillet, its a minute walk to the bus stop to the ground.
Feel free to seek me out and introduce yourself ill be one of the few weariing the retro shirts or just ask around for me  same goes for any perpignan based dragons fans always nice to meet the local fans |

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone in Perp for making it such a great weekend. The atmosphere was superb and I'm really jealous that you manage to get so many kids through the gates who are passionate about the game.
I'd also just like to recommend the Ibis hotel for any future travellers. We paid £40 per night for a family room and I have to say, for that price it is probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Clean, friendly, close to all amenities and a very secure car park.
La Roma and L'Arago were also lovely restaurants in Place Arago as was Napoli across from the Ibis.
We can't wait to come back - we're already looking at taking our summer holidays there, so we might see you at another Dragons game!

Hi mate
Here is a map of differents bus lines in Perpignan.
[url=http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/26/1340749667-map.jpgMAP[/url
[url=http://www.ctpmperpignan.com/pdf/plans/Plan_Perpignan_CTPM.pdfBiggest map here (with bus lines)[/url
If you want to go to Perpignan from Canet, take the line 6 and get off the bus at "Le Castillet" [url=http://www.carte-france.info/photos/images/maxi/perpignan,66,le,castillet,.jpg(I bet you know what it is, here is a picture of it[/url). I don't know names of differents bus stops in Canet but if you know it, you can find their timetable on this website : www.ctpmperpignan.com/horaires.php (just fill the gaps as they are on these [url=http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/26/1340750272-Sanstitre-1.jpgPICTURE[/url, be careful for the date, choose your bus stop and press the button "Horaires à cet arrêt"icon_wink.gif
Now, you can take whatever line you want if the bus goes to the Stade Gilbert Brutus (look at the map : line 15, 14, 13, 12, 4). You must get off at "Roussillonnaise" (name of the bus stop) if you don't want to be lost in another city !!! Next, just walk a few meters to join the ground. |

Hi. Am travelling down from the Charente for the St Helen's game. Can I buy tickets from the Dragon's website & pick them up on the day of the match? Alternatively will tickets be available on the day?
Merci

Morning.
Bit of a strange request.
I don't suppose there is a way of getting to Perpignan from Vire other than the long 10 hour drive?
Thanks

Hello
Is it possible for someone to recommend to me where to say for the Catalan v Hull FC game on June 8th. We would probably come over on the Friday before and return on the Monday after the same. Also which airport would it be better to fly in to (bearing in mind we would not have transport to and from the airport to the accommodation).
Thanking you in advance.

Most has been covered in this thread before - do have a browse.
Hotels I recommend (with the disclaimer that I've not been for a couple of years) - Hotel de la Loge, Hotel de France. One I definitely don't - Hotel Mondial.
Airports - think you need to go from Stansted in order to fly into Perpignan. From the north, head for Girona and book transfers with our friends at [url=http://www.catalansporttours.comCatalan Sport Tours[/url |

Whereabout is Vire?
There is a good train network from both north and south of Perpignan if you are on a line.

Sweet Jeebus, it's near Caen!
Train into Paris, sleeper to Toulouse, train to Perpignan? Internal flights? Personally, I'd quite fancy the road trip, but then I like driving |

I would suggest going via Paris then... although you could motorway south via Avranches, Rennes etc. before cutting across to Toulouse, Carcasonne etc.
Plenty of nice places to break the journey up

Not down the Atlantic coast? Nantes, La Rochelle, Bordeaux then either across to Toulouse and on to Perpignan or via Pau and the foothills of the Pyrenees. |

| Thank you for the replies
Sounds like a right treck if I'm honest.
The only problem I have is I don't drive so the Train or Internal Flights would be the only option.
Sounds like a great little adventure though.
Train from Vire > Paris then the sleeper to Toulouse then train to Perpignan?
How would I go about trying to find out times & prices etc. Is there a website I could go on? |

Hi myself and 4 others are coming to the Widnes game next Saturday but we want to get to the stadium from the centre of Perpignan. Last year we used CST but they are now sold out. Can anyone tell me any alternative ways of getting to the stadium. Thanks!

Bus from the Castillet - can never remember what number, but sure it's on this thread somewhere if you look back through - or it's ~20 minutes walk |
