| Quote jessicarrrrrrrr="jessicarrrrrrrr"simply supermarche = €1 for a bottle of wine. sold in a plastic bottle mind you
carrefour market = €0.83 for a bottle of white.
tastes like paint stripper but does the job
also, Fitz Brau is usually pretty cheap for a crate in Simply Supermarche too.'"
you can get some decent stuff for about a quid tho' it can rot your guts if you go mad with it !
plastic bottles are normal at that price range tho' I read an article the other day saying that more and more producers are using plastic instead of glass for reasons of cost,recycling & weight etc
a useless piece of info - apparently 90% of all wins sold are drunk within 2 days so that means limited time (very limited in my case !) is spent in the plastic - the other 10% sold is for the 'snob' market ie.those who store their wines for years on end for whatever reason.
jessicarrrrrrr - see you are near Clermont - there's a nice little wine just up the road from you near Vichy called Saint Pourcain - deffo worth a try if you want to splash out at 2/3 euros a bottle = nectar.  |

Five of us are staying a few miles west of Montpellier there's a chance we may just get a taxi straight to Nimes Airport. (Just to make sure we don't miss the flight home). |

as far as I am aware the price doesn't change - the train you are using is called the 'TER' which is your bog standard inter-city train using the Monpellier - Clermont Ferrand main line.
If you click on below you should find the relevant timetable where you will see the travel time is about 30 minutes from Montpellier to Nimes & vice versa.
just in case you have forgotten EVERYTHING despite the GCSE !!! just to remind you
if you look on the timetables you will see things like :
'lun-sam' or lundi - samedi = monday to saturday (excluding sundays obviously)
'tous les jours' = every day (including sundays)
'aller' or 'aller simple' = one way ticket
'aller - retour' = return ticket
you can sometimes get a reduction if you produce a handicapped card or if you are under 25 with a european rail card - as far as I can recall (I don't use the train very much),the return ticket will work out cheaoper but don't hold me to that ! In any case the price will not be exhorbitant for a second-class ticket for such a short journey.
regarding the actual train you require this obviously depends when your flight is to/from Nimes ? speaking of Nimes,it's worth spending some time there cos' it's a really nice place with some good bars/restaurants near the famous Arena

| Leaving Monday lunchtime (booked before I knew the HKR game was switched from Friday to Monday). Staying in Clermont-Ferrand until Friday (my daughter is at uni there doing a year abroad as part of her language degree) and then driving down to Montpellier on Friday morning.

Nowt new there then
I notice your location is Limoges. I'm flying into (and out of) there. I had booked my flights before the fixtures came out - happy coincidence that the game is on. Google is telling me it's a 5h drive from Montpellier to Limoges. Is that a realistic estimate? |

when are you arriving ? do you need overnight accommodation ? if so,we have loads of space and you would be most welcome to spend the night chez nous (as long as you are house trained !) - could turn nasty though,what with me being a Saints fan .......
Limoges - Montpellier is a straight run down the motorways but you will need to allow six hours IMO - Toulouse can be a slight bottleneck depending on the time of travelling but otherwise it's a straight run down.
I would avoid the cross country run (ie. via Figeac etc) it can be a pain crossing from the A20 to the A75 sometimes and seems to last forever.
You could always go via the Millau Viaduct then either cross country to the A20 or carry on up the A75 to Clermont Ferrand the on to Limoges on the way back for a change of scenery.Millau is worth the trip alone.
We will be leaving at about 0800 on saturday morning to have a nice leisurely trip down (with a few pit-stops of course ), giving us enough time to find the hotel and soak up the atmosphere in town etc before seeing Catalans completely demolish W***n......

Dom Brial "le Pot" is still about 4€ in all the shops. I think you must have been ripped off! 24€ a case from the vinyard but still 3.99€ in my local Spar in Perpignan!

If you want a good bar with great bears (not 1664, Kro or sh*t like that) in Montpellier you have "le Corto Bar".
