Last cheap shot at Nantes Trip

For the desperate, cheap and insomniacs ;)
If you're interested pm me asap drivers esp. welcome

Basically, an itenerary where you can fly out of Dublin or Shannon.

Fly into Charleroi from Dub or SNN on Sat, arrive roughly 2.00pm
Hire a Car and Drive 7hrs to Nantes
Stay in the IBIS hotel near the stadium

Here's the clincher that'll lose the lightweights
Leave Nantes at Midnight and share driving back to Charleroi through the Night (7hrs)
Fly from Charleroi to Shannon Monday morning, Sleep it off on a bus back to Dublin or Cork on Monday morning/afternoon

Price for two
Shannon €258 Dublin €262
Price for three
Shannon €238 Dublin €242
Price for four
Shannon €215 Dublin €219
Price for five
Shannon €211 Dublin €215

I know it's extreme, but we'll get a night out in Nantes on the Saturday on the beer, see the match and get to stay later than the charter flight boys to soak up the post match atmosphere

If I get three more I'm doing it

Respect to anyone that attempts that.

French roads are supposed to be very good so i;d say you could keep the average speed up fairly well especially on return night journey.

Seems like a good idea, Tiktok.

I would definitely be on for it if I could go on my own....
but I'd have to bring my son, which doubles my costs and neither of us have a driving license.
Good luck with it, I hope you get 4 more.

Bravo TikTok.
That's the "can do" spirit that beat Malmo and Nejmegen. Hope you get the support to prove the point that you don't have to lose your shirt to support the team on Sunday.
