Use the SNCF site and click on the flag in the top right hand corner for English language. Good Luck Hello, I'm after a bit of advice and hope you could help! Is there a way of getting from Marseille to Geneva by 7am the day after the match? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Kick-Off is 21H00, so anticipate a departure post 24H00. There would appear to no trains, planes or buses. To my mind, the only possibility is a hire car - a five hour drive, but you would need to collect the car prior to kick-off as car hire agencies will be closed.

Flying doesn't seem to be the easiest Last time I went that way I flew Bournemouth-Toulon(Hyeres) with Ryanair. Just a short hop on the train to Marseille. Airport about 12 miles out of Toulon I think with buses, trains, taxis available into Toulon station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi all. I've been offered a ticket for Wales-Slovakia in Bordeaux. Although I'm English, not Welsh, I'd still love to go and experience a tournament. However the person who's offered me the ticket will already be there so I'd need to travel independently. I've looked at flights and ferry options, almost all of which are now prohibitively expensive. By far the cheapest ferry is of course Dover/Calais but that leaves me with an epic road trip! Any hints, tips or creative ideas on how to get there are cheaply as possible?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Totally off the wall but what about the overnight ferry from Plymouth to Santander and drive to Bordeaux. Depends where in the UK you`re based but the ferry trip is almost a cruise in itself across the Bay of Biscay - you see whales and allsorts - then about 250 miles on a-roads to Bordeaux. I can`t imagine the ferry route will be a particularly popular one for the Euros so the prices shouldn`t be increased due to them. Brittany Ferries is what you want to be looking at.

About 7 hours to Bordeaux from Calais though...a lot of fuel! Also looking at flying to Nantes and picking up a hire car there - three hours on to Bordeaux. It's all adding up though whatever way I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I did look at this option, certainly an attractive one, but it was around £800 for the Santander ferry. Way out of my budget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way out of my budget! Bloody hell, that is steep! I suppose it`s because they try and sell it as a mini cruise rather than a bog standard ferry crossing. I`m amazed it`s that much though - a couple of hundred would seem reasonable but not 800 notes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly to Toulouse from Bristol train to Bordeaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly to Toulouse from Bristol train to Bordeaux Thanks - the bus option sounds horrendous but could be within budget! Toulouse from Bristol is £243. A good shout, but again too expensive. Basically I'm trying to do the trip on a shoestring to get it past Mrs Chip, but I think I'm going to struggle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A late response, but I agree with Countryfile. Take a cheap coach to Paris and then the TGV to Bordeaux out of Montparnasse - just over 3 hours, city centre to city centre and a comfortable reserved seat for just over €100 return.
