Getting there
There are direct flights to Bordeaux with Aer Lingus.
The Clan are running a bus from the airport to Brive to meet the flights Friday-Sunday.
It will be priced at €50 return. If we fill the bus we should have enough to fund the pre-match meal as well.
Seats for the bus are available in the Travel section of the Connacht Clan Shop.
Accommodation
Lots of options around town. A good few are in the Ibis Brive Centre. There are others closer to the centre of town, e.g. Le Coq D'Or, Hotel L'Andrea, Citotel Le Chapon Fin
Hospitality
We have been in touch with their supporters' club, Kop Cabiste.
Their bar is Le Relais du Pilou, a few minutes walk from the stadium. They are organising a meal for us before the match.
Match Day Transport
The stadium is withing walking distance of town. You can get a taxi but there only appears to be one of them!
Things to see
Le Chateau D'Eau. A cathedral. A couple of museums and a nice Old Town.
