VLC86 Posted 6 June 2016 Posted 6 June 2016 That's fkin awful. Did you have to pay P&P too? I did but they are refunding that back to my account.
Guest Posted 6 June 2016 Posted 6 June 2016 Strikes tomorrow on the boats and trains. Same again next Tuesday.

VLC86 Posted 7 June 2016 Posted 7 June 2016 Happy days. Buzzing for the off tomorrow morning Nice, you heading straight for Marseille?
The Year Of The Fox Posted 8 June 2016 Author Posted 8 June 2016 Nice, you heading straight for Marseille?Strictly speaking it's Martigues, but yeh we are mate
Ric Flair Posted 8 June 2016 Posted 8 June 2016 Enjoy lads, I went 4 years ago and it was sensational. I'll be in France for the last bit of June and early July but unlikely to be involved in any of this sadly.
kingcarr21 Posted 8 June 2016 Posted 8 June 2016 Radio this morning was saying to plan your driving routes carefully as there are a lot of toll roads which can cost a fortune if used all the time. You should be able to plan your routes avoiding a lot of the tolls. Just thought I would share that with you all.

Spend £150 driving to Italy the other year, saying that though the roads are empty so worth weighing up whether it's worth a massive detour or to pay the price.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 9 June 2016 Author Posted 9 June 2016 **** me Marseille is a long drive Arrived at Calais at about 6pm, were still on the road now Just come past Valence. Somehow ended up through the outskirts of Paris past the Stade De France then south on the A6 but couldn't actually get on the A6. Ended up driving underneath Paris Orley airport at one point. So glad we've not got to come back down to St Etienne Toll roads all day long for me. We've spent about 30 euro each but that's sod all on the grand scheme of things. Can't wait to get to bed
apple987 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Been France many times before, and if driving on the motorways there, beware of the 'aires'. Some of them are absolutely disgusting like literally probably never been cleaned before. I once saw shit all over the floor in one.

Can't wait to get to bed Haha I feel your pain mate, when we drove from Leicester to North Italy it was probably the worst experience of my life. I had to keep stopping every half an hour to get 10 mins sleep. Toll road are a piece of piss, literally stay on the same road for 200 miles at a time.

Guest Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Pretty sure my wallets gone missing today (been nicked) Having spoken to the motorhome company I can hire the vehicle out with my passport and they already have my license details. But does anyone know what the repurcussions would be in France if stopped by the police there if I physically don't have my driving license to hand? (I'm hoping my work will have a photocopy as well) You'd probably be in the shit. Road Gendarmes have no sense of humour and will expect you to have all your documents in order. If not you will have 24hrs to present yourself at the station with your papers. France is far more a military state than people realise. French police are pretty strict driving wise so I can't imagine that would go down too well to be honest. I am sure you have read about you needing to carry cash/ breathalyser etc. I still haven't got my tickets, FA are incredibly incompetent. You don't need to carry a breathalyser anymore.

You can really get held up on the alternative routes.
AndWhat? Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Meant to be in Paris when England play Wales but have found a return bus that only costs £30 to Lille. Will Lille be worth going to for it?
Voll Blau Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Anyone over there now, what's the situation been like with regards to policing at ports/airports?
VLC86 Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Anyone over there now, what's the situation been like with regards to policing at ports/airports? Just at EMA now and police are checking passports, If you have any history of violence in th last 5 years they won't let you travel.

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Not been to bed, got on the beers in la couranne instead What's it like the morning after?
General Smuts Posted 12 June 2016 Posted 12 June 2016 Probably gonna only go to 1 of the 2 games I've got tickets for so if anyone wants 4 premium seat tickets for Austria vs Iceland let me know. How much are they Smutsy? Got a few of our lot doing that game already. You still interested Rob? These tickets are still available if Maybes or anyone else is interested
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 12 June 2016 Posted 12 June 2016 Saw Leicester fans in Paris today with newest shirts on. Anyone on here? Was outside fanzone
BrummieFOX Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Planning a trip next weekend to hopefully see our 1st knockout game on the Sat (should we win the group). Any suggestions where to stay in Paris? How are the campsites?
HEGGSY Posted 17 June 2016 Posted 17 June 2016 Heading to Paris for the KO stages hopefully, if we make the quarters.
