Parking for the group games?

[Excited Welshman]

Afternoon chaps.

Setting off with an early ferry into Calais tomorrow, and taking a car round all three group games. Only thing is I still can't quite work out the best options for parking?

Bordeaux has park and ride sites on the metro, but only about 2,500 in total so I imagine these will fill up well before kick-off. How early would we have to be to get these spots, and if they're full has anyone else found anywhere nearby to park?

Lens has official UEFA park and rides outside the city - but no addresses! I can see the UEFA website has listed the broad names for them but no other information - has anyone found out where they actually are?

Toulouse looks to be less of an issue as there are plenty of park and rides on the outskirts where we can get the metro in - but these close at 00:45, and with the game being a 9PM kick off, I can see there being an issue getting back there in time if there are queues to get on a metro back?

Apologies for all the questions, but I've found it impossible to find any information anywhere from UEFA about this!

I agree that the info has been pretty poor. You would have thought it was in their interests to put out detailed info in advance so that people can plan. Like you, I'd like to have the detail about where exactly the P&R locations are, but the info is vague.

Sorry - not much help!

Time for a bump!

I am starting the long haul from deepest darkest west wales to Toulouse via Dover on Tuesday and was buzzing with excitement after yesterday's win. That feeling has, unfortunately diminished considerably over the last 24 hours after seeing all the trouble at the Euro's - and in particular the crowd disturbance at last nights England game. The French police seemed totally ineffective.
I am travelling with 2 teenagers, a friend and his 10 year old son and as we are staying outside the city I am looking at options re transport to the game. Does anyone know if there are shuttle buses, or special transportation arrangements in place? I want to make sure the kids enjoy the day and that its one they can look back and take pleasure from. I would love to see a similar kind of atmosphere to Bordeaux, but I am not convinced Toulouse will be carnival like. 

Thanks

Follow the Euro 2016 parking signs which lead you to take junction 6 off the ringroad (A630). Don't take J4 or J5 as seems obvious when driving from the North.

You'll think it's taking you miles out of your way, but you end up at the massive, free stadium car park. It was half empty on Saturday. Ignore the Park and Ride.

Sorry the advice above is for Bordeaux, wrong thread.

Just driven up north - there were signs on the A1 road at certain exits near Lens with Euro 2016 logos on them - I assume this leads to park and ride sites!
