Le Havre

[Monk]

Given it's just a ferry ride away, has anyone ever done a game in Le Havre? Hoping once we're back to normal to head over and do a game and night. Any reccomendations?

I was wondering about going over for the women's world cup there but couldn't get a ticket, and didn't want to risk going over there on spec and getting a ticket locally, which is often possible at these events.  It would be easy enough to do without a car which would keep the cost down: the stadium is on the main road out of town and we pass it every year on our way skiing, but it's no great distance. Le Havre was battered during the war and it has been rebuilt like Southampton but without the charm and the walls.. 😉   If you did take a car there are some more attractive places around - Honfleur on the south side of the estuary for example.

It's not a bad idea for a long weekend. The slow overnight ferry is comfortable if you get a cabin and you get in about 8.30/9, but not sure of the return timetable as we normally return via Caen which gets us into Portsmouth early evening.

PS: we're starting a reserve team this year, not sure where you're working these days but any materiel going spare?:-)
