£103 for flights from Liverpool isn't bad at all.

Its alright that isnt it!

I dont know whether to stay for a couple of nights i.e the £103 Sat - return Tues + £75 for hotel. Or go for a package hol in Callela which you can get 7 nights for about £250 pp.

I'm looking (if i can be bothered) to do the Sat-Tues. £150-£180 will do for me.

Go Sunday - Thurs with BMIbaby from Manc @ a cost of £75.98. The Sunday arrival gets you there for 10am local time(i think) in time for kick off

Anyone recommend any tried and tested hotels in perpignan?

yeh,loads of good hotels in town,depends on the price - haven't been to any bad ones but have found the out of town ones (the chain hotels) cheaper plus good value with the buffet breakfast but you're looking at at taxi ride in & out.The stadia (Brutus or Giral) are both to the north of the city and the Comfort Inn is about two miles north from the ground but away from the town so you still need a taxi or bus ride in.In the southern side we have tried the Kennedy & Aragon plus the B & B which has the Premier Class and other chain hotels in a line - these are great value but you need a taxi or car hire to get about (no bus services) it's a long walk into town then a further couple of miles to the ground.In the centre I know people who have stayed at the Hotel de France,Kyriad & The Victoria and have had no complaints.

I see no-one has yet mentioned the Hotel de la Loge, probably the most central of all the central hotels, probably the strangest hotel you will ever stay in for the whole of your life, one of those places that you will book again to return next year because you didn't believe it the first time around, probably the most French of all the hotels on offer in Perpignan and certainly not corporate-ized to within an inch of its life like most others can be - "multi storey car parks with room dividers" as one well known poster from here described some of the chain hotels. Hotel de la Loge

I saw that one, but you dont get to soak up the atmosphere the day before, also you'll be nackered at the game as I should imagine it will be a 4am start from home.

I'm looking to stay in the Hotel Alexander 3 star - central Perpignan. 5 person room for 100 euro per night, or a double room for 70 euro per night. Ill have a look for the other ones mention later.

Hotel de la Loge had a look on our first visit to Perpignan but found it totally unsuitable for us due to the lack of Handicapped facilities (my missus is handicapped) - but it looks great and within easy staggering distance of Le Castillet & the rest of the splendours of the city

Would love to do it there and back in 2days but flight times are against me!
