The only people who do more are those with prior knowledge of a subject or who are gluttons for punishment. I qualified on both counts

I qualified on neither.

Missed that last time around. Yeah, its on a per car basis. You're welcome to climb aboard.

We just need a firm date to book the chunnel ticket on. And confirmation of somewhere to stay, be it with Spiff or other generous Frenchman.

To all.

PLEASE SAY IF YOU ARE COMING, AND IF 14TH AUGUST (WEEKEND OF) IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO ATTEND.

PROVIDERS OF ACCOMODATION, PLEASE CONFIRM HOW MANY YOU CAN TAKE AND IF THE 14TH AUGUST (WEEKEND OF) IS SUITABLE.

I will decide to come at the latest instance, but I really like the idea.

As I am employed, I'll take a hotel, or try to fix a place at a friend of mine, if she is in Paris at the time. I'll happily forfeit a place at Spiffor's if it will allow a poor student to attend . If in the end there will be place at Spiffor's, I would like to attend the crowd though.

If Spiffor would know any decent hotel, I would be very thankfull. I need nothing fancy, I'll use it to sleep, not to stay .

Last time in Paris I stayed at a Hotel near the Rue Oberkampf. While the neighbouthood was nice, the hotel was crap. Don't remember what I paid then, but how far would 30 euro get me? Or would that be riducilously cheap at the (presumably) high tourist season?

Here is a hotel close to home, for less than 30 €. Nothing great, but it will provide you with a bed, and possibly breakfast

Should it be booked for that weekend already( most touristy weekend of the year ), you may try here or here, which aren't far either.

It would be cool to do Paris though anyway, make a long weekend of it as well as a poly meet. I have never had the chance to look around the place properly, and it is hardly long distance nowadays

Be careful. As I said earlier in this thread, the cost of the Chunnel increases extortianately the longer apart your departure and arrival is.

If you want it at ~£40 you have to leave Friday after noon and be back before 3pm on Saturday. Or leave Saturday after noon and be back by 3pm Sunday. Else its £180 or so.

The super save plan is thus: Leave for the 1200pm shuttle on Saturday, get to Paris mid afternoon, have the stay over and be back on the road home for around 1430pm Shuttle on Sunday.

The more expensive plan requires 4 people in the car as its around each £45/each compared to £90/each when costs split, which isn't anywhere near as bad as if it just 2 people. i.e If its just you and me, Rich, in the car I need convinving to pay an extra £70. I'd rather go for the supersaver plan or take the Eurostar from Ashford (although I need to look into the prices there. ).

Finally, can your car seat five?


Either way, Spiffor, I think you've got two definites coming your way on the 14th August.
