we are staying in a place just outside of bordeaux on the beach called Arcachon, As far as i know a pint of Heineken will set you back €6.

Getting the train down from Paris (not booked yet) and then I'll be staying with camping Ninja in a premium tent (basically slightly less kippy!). 4 nights there so not too bad. Although I only seen you had a discount organised after I'd booked it :(
Anyway the city looks class so I'm really looking forward to the 4 nights there. Anyone know where that camping Ninja site will be located? |

Says 24/7 security on their website I think; doesn't say where it'll be located though which seems a tad sketchy

Suss it out when you get there. All good, hide inside in the usual spots. Worried, dig a hole under the ground sheet near the edge (when you're 100% sure no one's looking) and put it in there in one of those re-sealable plastic lunchbags.

"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."

I would be wise of them to have lockers you can rent to store stuff like that. The campsite will be packed so I'd probably take the chance and keep it there. I can understand thieves robbing money but your passport is just bad. So don't be leaving any notes lying around! |

Considering the price of phones that sounds a bit mad. Thankfully the 4 nights in bordeaux are the only camping ones. and if the kip that was the Carlsberg camps had safes then surely the more up market camping Ninja will too :p |

Cannai wait for the train journey, be some craic. We're on the 15:28 train so should be well on our way by the time we board. Another quality rail journey courtesy of the Boys in Green n bags o'cans. |

Anyone else flying into Tours for this? Price of flights were dirt cheap. Looks like there is a direct train from Tours to Bordeaux (think it's the high speed one that originates in Paris).
Staying in the ibis budget Bordeaux Centre Meriadeck on 37 COURS DU MARECHAL JUIN - 33000 BORDEAUX. Think it's fairly central, anyone know how close to the usual drinking districts it is? Edited by BelfastFitz - 17 Feb 2016 at 2:48pm |

Appreciate the excitement levels have risen now with ticket allocations etc but 4 miserable pages for Bordeaux general thread
Bordeaux is a magical city and knocks the socks off Paris. There's several large squares there too have we decided on a main one to 'invade' night before and day of the game ? Cans / beers in pubs what's the general concencus ? Anybody doing a winery tour ? What will be the French polices approach / policy to street drinking ? Thoughts ? |

Nothing much they'll be able to do with 50,000 irish drinking in the squares etc

This! Can't wait for Bordeaux, should be the first real large congregation of Irish all in the one spot as it is smaller than Paris. Nice city from what I have heard/read and in a fantastic part of the country too.
