Blog on Belgian disappointment for anyone interested. Up to Lille tomorrow in hope rather than expectation...

Flying into Paris this afternoon and booked on train from Montparnasse to Bordeaux at 7:20 but think I should be there much earlier now. There's 2 other trains 1 hour beforehand and wondering is it possible to get on another train on same route or do you have to stick to time you booked. Its a flexi ticket I booked.
Help much appreciated.

Defo no probs drinking on the streets tonight. Was rocking, if a little messy, around the Connemara bar. Police were dead sound.

I'm on this too. My hotel is in the city centre and they told me to get the line 1 bus to some name that escapes my mind and then walk the short distance from there. Can't wait!!

Had a look on twitter. It seems the Welsh fans are having no problems drinking on the street and merging in big crowds outside pubs etc. They seemed to be partying well into the night with no hassle too.

I reckon the cops will play it by ear. If fans behave themselves like the Welsh do and we will do there will be no hassle.

The Connemara looks great, they have a pic on their website of the Hearts fans filling up the streets outside. Also looks like there might be poles & even buildings for hanging the massive flags off. Watching the other matches would be out of the question though which is a bummer. Unless the Blarney Stone blocks the street outside it won't be able to handle the numbers I wouldn't say. Still, Place de la Victoire looks quality & has loads of bars round the outside you could deffo catch the matches in (through the windows while sipping on cans), not sure where the flags could hang though.

Tough call, they both look great!

SOS, I was all set to fly out this weekend but last week I suffered a detached retina and cant fly or drive for 4/5 weeks, however i have been told by my Doctor that I could travel mid week by ferry as a foot passanger, at this stage I can get a ferry Wednesday Evening from Rosslare  with Irish ferries or Thursday evening with stena line, is there anybody traveling on these ferries with a space in a car or Camper that would give me a lift to Bordeaux, Im sorted after that as I can meet up with the rest of my group, Trains times are very tight and  dont look a good option, I will gladly pay my way fuel etc. if you can or know somebody who can help it would make a seasoned supporter very happy.
Thank you

Do a search on Newsdirectory2.com Bordeaux Drinking Ban during euros.
 
Two different bodies - In summary
 
1. No spirit sales between 8pm and 8am
2. No public drinking between 11pm and 7am - designed to keep you indoors
3. From midnight 17th June until 8am on 19th June - no drinking outside pubs or in certain areas of the city including Bordeaux City Centre, outside Fan Zones etc. - designed to keep you indoors
 
To me it looks as though its coming from the publicans/rest. owners/hoteliers to ensure that if your drinking then you'll be drinking at €6/€7 a pint from them and not at €1 a can from Lidl or Carrefour. The public safety issue is a red herring.
That's no too bad. I can drink can's until 22:59, go back to the hotel for some kip and start drinking cans again at 07:01. Clap

The whole thing is a bit unclear. If a pub has a designated outside area, which I assume your pal Frank does then presumably that's OK, it's lads sitting in the middle of a square with a bag of cans that they're going after I would guess. 

We'll see tonight and tomorrow what goes on with the Welsh.

Probably.

As you said there's two different authorities issuing differet rules, so it's possible the two press releases had different formats and nobody checked it.

The official announcement about match day restrictions and the sale of spirits is here. 

Can't find anything about the 11-7 restriction on the Bordeaux official site or the torusit site.

Bad news. Bordeaux has banned street drinking during the Euros. There will be no drinking allowed outside of bars and the fanzone between the hours of 11am and 7am (I am guessing bars aren't open for the other four hours.



Drinking on the street will also be banned in the vicinity of the airport, the station, the stadium and the fanzone from midnight the night before the match till 8am the next day (in Ireland's case, that means from the night of the 17th till the morning of the 19th). If the overlap between those two bans seems strange, it's because they were issued by two separate authorities.

Again I'm slightly confused here ? Shall I just start sipping tins now ?

There is also a ban on serving drink in glasses, only plastic, paper or metal cups will be allowed instead, which looks like it might contradict the street-drinking ban.

Finally, the sale of alcohol stronger than 20% is prohibited between the hours of 8pm and 8am. Wine and beer will still be available for sale but will have to be drunk at home.

Do you mean between 7am and 11am ? Otherwise it implies a total ban does it not ?

Correct it's essentially a complete ban on street drinking.



That link says between '11 heures and 7 heures', which sort of threw me, because the French only ever use the 24-hour clock. 11pm looks more likely. It doesn't surprise me in Bordeaux, which is a fairly bourgeois city. Still, hard to see how it'll be enforced, and we'll have to see how things go for the Welsh (and the Austrians) ahead of us. 

Yeah 11pm is a bit less ridiculous, but weird that they didn't say 23h.

We'll know how effective it is soon enough, Wales play there tomorrow right?

Although, in the rest of the article it uses 24h clock, e.g. when talking about the spirit ban it says entre 20h et 8h.


I'm sure that paper, like many others in the world, is now labouring without sub-editors to catch things like that.
