Thought I would bump this topic as we are only a couple of weeks away from the game.

So who is going then?

I will be there for my first visit - anyone got any good tips in terms of things to see/do and nightlife? Where do the Warrington fans tend to congregate the day of the match?

Re: perpignan : Thu Aug 04, 2011 1:19 pm  

I'll be there with Mrs Bling and the baby for the first time. Out of interest, how easy is it to get from the airport to the city centre? Are there frequent buses or is it a cab jobby?

Perpignan Airport shuttle bus http://www.ourplaceinargeles.co.uk/getting_there.html#para5 Taxi about €18 from airport to Perpignan Centre

The shuttle bus that Rchick refers goes first to the Bus station, the bus station is not like ours in Warrington its just a largish car park so don't do like I did 5 years ago and sat on the bus waiting for it to get a large interchange. But it is central for Perpignan and costs about 4 euros one way and is reliable.

As you come out of the airport turn right and you will see a white 24 seater mini bus waiting.

Off to Tossa De Mar on Tuesday for two weeks and will hopefully (yet to receive confirmation from Catalan Sports Tours) be doing a coach day trip for the game. Anybody else staying in Tossa?

We are in Lloret, might just drive up for the game and not bother with CST for the bus.

Were leaving on wednesday for 3 weeks over there, night life im not sure on but the bar under the castillet seems to be the one where everyone congregates (at least it was last yr) best beach in europe as far as im concerned and if i remember rightly its the number 1 bus from outside the castillet and is 1 euro straight to the beach, collioure is worth a visit if you have transport

Re: perpignan : Thu Aug 04, 2011 5:25 pm  

Going for the 4th time, staying for a week, as others have said collioure is definatly worth a visit and also the beach at Canet is closest to Perpignan and easy to get to by bus, as for night life the bars seem stay open untill about half 12 1ish but other than that theres no clubs ( thats i've found anyway), hopefully alot of fans travel over been great last few years
