[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

We're setting off on the Thursday, stopping for a night near Paris, then making our way down to Montpellier on Firday. Then we're stopping off in Paris on Monday and Tuesday to go to Eurodisney
Dont forget most of your motorways in france are also toll roads so driving each way through france will probably cost between 40-50 quid each way. Plus your ferry crossing 50 quid, and fuel (at least £350) you're probably looking at nearer 500 just in transport costs if you drive.
With the price of fuel these days, and the bargin flights that are still available, it makes driving not even an option. Which is a shame because i wouldnt mind the road trip!

| We stayed in an Apart-Hotel in Montpelier last year for a couple of nights on the way to Perpignan. Very cheap and great value. Tram stop outside and bus to the beach round the corner. If anyone is interested I'll post the details.

7914_1630875396.png I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league.

| We've booked a four night trip to Montpellier by train after doing the same last year, which worked really well:
- Return train to London (2 hrs) £30
- Return Eurostar to Paris (2 hrs 20) £69
- Return train Paris-Montpellier (3 hrs 20) 60 euros
We're stopping in a 4-bed apartment in Montpellier - Citadines ApartHotel, central and right next to a tram stop, at £20 per person, per night, on Friday and Saturday, breaking the journey in Paris on the Thursday and Sunday nights to do some sightseeing, that will be about £25 per head each night.
Works out as a really good deal for the length of time we're away, and with the timing of this trip, we've got the added bonus of being able to go to the French Open tennis in Paris. The hotel fees are probably the same now as when we booked, but I'd expect the trains (especially within France) to have gone up since we booked 6 weeks ago.
