Clermont travel?
Any ideas on getting to Clermont-Ferrand cheaply, direct flights are already £400 and only Air France fly there from what I can see?

Re: Clermont travel?
Anyone have experience or suggestions of alternative routes? Was thinking of flying to Lyons and then train but the journey according to the SNCF website suggests its 5 hours!!!!
Re: Clermont travel?
Eurostar Paris and Gare Bercy Clermont.....
Re: Clermont travel?
We have previously flown Ryanair to Rodez, hired car for 2 hour drive to Clermont.

Just booked Stansted - Poitiers for £60 return. Out Friday, back Monday.
About 3:30 hrs drive to Clermont.
Any recommendations on accomadation?
How far ground to city centre?

just booked Stansted to Limoges - £90 out Friday back Monday - hired 4 door Polo for the 3 days £85 - staying at Privilodges Carré de Jaude - €225 per room for the 3 nights booked via booking.com. 4 of us travelling = £210 pp for the whole trip + petrol/parking. Hope this helps

The ground is about 1 mile from the city centre and most of the larger hotels although the old centre of Montforrand is close by the stadium.

Re: Clermont travel?
In the past most tigers fans have congregated at Bar Pascual in the pl de la Victorie right next to the cathederal. This is a real good rugby bar that shows all available matches on big screens and one trip the owner produced two large baskets of oysters and gave them away to all
