Yes that's it. CDG to Denfert is a metro. €12 each journey I believe. Train to Rennes is from Montparnasse. Around 1.5 hour journey. Will take a good hour from CDG to Montparnasse. Think it's a 10-15 min walk from Denfert to Montparnasse.

That’s what we make it

 

Land at CDG 0930 

 

Train from Montparsse to Rennes at1056

We went for the 12:15 train just in case of delays. 10:56 sounds like heart attack central.

 

Was the cheapest one of the late morning/lunch options too.

  • Return Flights Gatwick - Nantes with Easy Jet. Arrive Thursday morning and leave Saturday Morning = £52.00pp
  • Train from Nantes to Rennes leaving Nantes at 12:04 and arriving in Rennes for 13:23 = £16.00pp
  • Hotel in Rennes on the Thursday night = £26.00pp
  • Train from Rennes back to Nantes Friday Morning = £16.00pp
  • Hotel in Nantes Friday night = £30.00pp

 

Not bad so far baring in mind both hotel's are named hotels, not hostels, and both are in the respective city centre's. (Nothing too posh though)

 

My biggest worry is getting from the airport to the train station in time. Flight lands at 09:55 and train is 12:04 with about a 20 minute drive between the two. Could have opted for the later train however that gets you into Rennes around 4pm as opposed to this one where you arrive at just gone 12. That's my biggest worry so far....

Is the train station in Nantes a taxi journey from the airport ?

Hi All,

 

A good friend of mine is from Nantes and he recommends John McByrne Irish pub as the best/safe place to have a few beers.

Also,heads up at night as recently there is some smaller groups going around robbing late at night so keep together and use a taxi late at night if going home alone.

I have wrote to 1/2 Bus companies regarding a price and if they will accept us.

Anyone interested in a return day trip from Nantes on St.Patricks day 🍺🍀 for the game send me a PM!

I am flying into Paris CDG Wednesday evening from Manchester, staying near Montparnasse.
Then 1056 train to Rennes on Thursday morning, stay in Rennes before train/flight back on Friday. 
 

Train slightly more expensive from Paris than going via Nantes, but all in my return journey is about £120.

Campanile Rennes Ouest Cleunay

 

That's what we have gone for but it's free cancellation and pay at hotel so if something better crops up when I do more research its easily changeable.

That’s where we’ve booked. Doesn’t look to bad and decent location

If you're going from Nantes to Rennes via train, you don't need to book your tickets in advance as it is a regional train (TER) and prices are done by distance. If you're buying tickets from the station you have to validate your ticket first (there's little yellow machines you punch your ticket into) or you can download the SNCF Connect app and buy an e-ticket on their.

You knocked naples out the park considering the police situ, so I'd defo be down for this. Beats a late sketchy train covering my colours

Would definitely be interested, have dropped you a PM!

 

Hotels booked in Nantes and Rennes (no upfront and free cancellations) so easy to sort whatever happens with this

Dont want to be alarming here (ignore the covid stuff) but the local police pulled this out on Spurs 36 hours before kick off. The French police have a track record of doing this out travelling supporters including French clubs. I haven’t read whether Celtic or Arsenal were similar when they travelled. 
 

Ticket collection point as well literally at the ground doesn’t sound great
