RUGBY in Toulouse

RUGBY

We're awash with rugby in France at the moment ... but no one can say that it's going particularly well for Northern Hemisphere sides just now, except perhaps for France. But - especially for our Irish compatriots - there's a chance of revenge (on a smaller scale) when Leinster take on Stade Toulouse in Toulouse in November.

The match is at 9pm on Sunday 18th November so we've created little two and three star programmes starting at just 135 euros per person for the weekend:

arrive Saturday 17th (Dublin - Carcassonne with Ryanair or Gatwick-Toulouse with easyJet)
time to visit Carcassonne and Toulouse and a good night in one of the Irish Pubs in the city
overnight in centrally located two or three star hotel
Sunday: great day for street markets in Toulouse: whether it's flea markets or wild mushrooms or foie gras that you're after, you'll find it.
The match is at the Stade's HQ in Ernest-Wallon: easy walking distance from town centre.
What better place to celebrate a fine win but at Leinsterman Trevor Brennan's bar De Danu?
Overnight in hotel
Monday: return flight.

Package includes: two overnights in double/twin room in 2 or 3* hotel with breakfast plus a central-stand match ticket. France à la carte's guide to pubs and restaurants in Toulouse.

Transfers (or hire car from airport) not included. The shuttle service from Toulouse airport costs 5 euros and runs every 20 minutes. We can hire you a car from Carcassonne airport (90 kms - 1 hour drive).
