Loads of info on this above. Bordeaux looks like a stunning city. Looking forward to doing some wine tours too. Anyone been to Bordeaux and do these tours? |

I've never done an organised wine tour but will this time for sure. Make sure any tour takes in Saint-Émilion - its a beautiful town surrounded by some of the best vineyards. Plenty of free tasting...  |

Whatever about heading down, stay in Bordeaux the night after the game, if you can. You'll never get back after the match. At the very least, don't try to get north of Paris.

Have to get the train back to Paris after this game. Dreading the thought of it already. Would anyone think I'll be pushing to get the train to Paris at 20.20?
I know I have a couple of hours after the game to get back but with the ground a little outside Bordeaux and everyone heading in the same direction on trams etc I'm a little uncertain.

That's some journey alright, best staying the night if you can manage it. It did cross my mind to visit Bruges after Lille or Lens but I chased it out of my head...quarter final all the way..

Lille to Bruges on Thursday, few days there. If we are in Lens on Saturday, easy to get back to; if it's one of the other games, we have another day to get there.

Cant find any reasonably priced hotels in bordeuax at the minute. Hopefully get a camper van sorted from london and a raodtrip down on the 16th. If not i searched a few campsites which are around an hour journey from city centre but it says shuttle busses are available. Anyone else using these methods?

Looking for general advice in relation to reaching the Belgium game in bordeaux, where to stay cheapest way to get there, be it flight train or renting a car and getting back again all with the aid of a few pints preferrably.

A cheap hotel I'm booked into is the 'Hotel F1' chain Bordeaux there is a few of them around the city. They're very basic with shared bathrooms etc but a grand place for a sleep/shower for a few hours. Don't know about availability as we booked about a month ago but they're cheap as chips.

Bordeaux prices are crazy expensive. Unless you stumble upon a deal from a group of ye on air bnb your looking at either a kip and/or a hostel.
