Mods feel free to merge if another thread exists. Few of us took a gamble on Vueling flights to Paris Orly from Dublin. Got Wednesday to Saturday for €52. There were other day combinations for similar price. Venue is uncertain due to Rugby World Cup but you'd have to think Parc des Princes is most likely for capacity/ location combination. ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

Unlikely to be in Paris at all. Papers reported it after the draw, FAI were told by the French that it was highly unlikely to be in Paris, citing issues with hotels amongst other issues I believe it was. Lille & Lyon have been mentioned a few times

Good call Tom as even if it's not Paris you can get to any city in France using the train the same day . Worth a punt for €50 odd for sure . ------------- Lansdowne Road debut aged 52 and 201 days . |

Their train network is great and fast, so even if not Paris not the end of the world. I wouldn't have thought hotels would be an issue in Paris, but hopefully it's somewhere different anyway. Would love Marseille personally.

The only stadia not being used for the Rugby World Cup, that were used for Euro 2016 are Paris and Lens. Seems to be plenty of accommodation in Paris around the dates of our game so not sure what the issue is. ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |

Lyon the most likely I reckon. Not being used for the Rugby until 2 weeks after our game. Lille possible as well that's not being used until the following week of our game. All depends on whether the RWC are like UEFA and FIFA and need the Stadia for a set period throughout a tournament. If it's a case then I'd presume Lens but I think I'd have been flagged by now if there was limitations on location ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

Still nothing re the venue. The general consensus seems to be Lille or Lyon. Lens and Nice were also mentioned in this thread. Saint Etienne, Toulouse and Marseille are all hosting matches 9th/10th weekend so I think we can rule them out too. Bordeaux have Ireland's rugby match that Saturday. I can't see why it wouldn't be on in Parc des Princes. Lyon would be the most likely of the rugby stadiums imo (no match until the 24th). ------------- "We will be galvanised and motivated, and we will bring thousands to this tournament." - MON |

Would suspect there will be a reorientation of location from the usual boulevard de cliche, pigalle, Montmartre given the game is in a different part of the city, plus they are the worst area in Paris. Been advised to look at areas in 10th and 11th on metro 9 for direct access to the ground while also being very central to inner Paris. ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

I'm staying in the Latin Quarter. What's it like? From what I've read it seems pretty lively. |

Aye it’s decent spot with good connectivity- hotel just a bit pricier than what I wanted to pay We drank in the student area last time was decent spot and prices a bit more reasonable drinks wise - No interest in going near moulin rouge area
