jxedwards Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I have booked suprise tickets for myself and the wife for James Blunt who is performing at the Zenith in Toulouse.As we stay 2 hours away intend to get a hotel in the centre of Toulouse that evening.Does anybody out there in Midi Pyreneesland have any idea how easy/difficult public transport is to the Zenith particularly after the concert has finished later on.Any thoughts advice welcome.

Unknown Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 NapsThat's very funny, I have just emailed it to some friends. Where do you find stuff like that? And where abouts in 79 are you in a rough area type of thing? I too am in 79.Dotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opas Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 you don`t fancy taking my 12 year old daughter do you, she would love it but I would hate it!Must have a look at the ticket office in Auchan, perhaps I could persuade one of her friends mums to go, and plenty of our neighbours seem to have maison secondaires up in toulouse or relatives there.

naps Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Dotty, we're about 10 minutes East of Niort (en route to St. Maxient L'Ecole), how about you? As for the video, I've a few friends who seem to get every joke going and they forward them on to me - this one came from my nephew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jxedwards Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 FYI,Bought the tickets at Le Clerc in Figeac. Just browsing the 'whats on' board and there it was concert advertised. Not sure if it is a sell out, if you are trying for tickets good luck. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegs Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi, we went to the Zenith to see Depeche Mode a few months back. We stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn in Place Wilson which can be very good value for money and there is a great brasserie below. We took the metro down to Patte d'Oie from Place Capitol which was only a few minutes, then maybe a 10 minute walk. It was an odd evening all round. For a start, everyone seems to have driven to the Zenith, the place is almost totally soundproof so we weren't sure we got right up close that the concert was still on. It must have started really early as we got there at 8pm and the support were on their last song! Even stranger, there was no rush to the bar at the changeover, and worst of all was the inappropriate dancing which still sends shivers down my spine... I think the concert ended about 10:30 pm and the tube was still running and there were lots of buses about so I don't think you'll have a problem.

Dave Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Sounds really good fun, innapropriate dancing is what I am best at.....Is the Zenith a good venue, we always keep an eye on concerts there, I guess staying the night nearby is the best option.

Hegs Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Regarding the venue, for actually seeing and hearing a group it is the best large venue I have ever been too (handles 9000). It's like 120 degrees of an ampitheatre, there really are no bad seats as far as I could tell. The sound quality was excellent. The bars were a little disappointing, if you imagine the beer tent at a large UK festival you'll get the idea.Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi jxedwards!Did you sort out transport back to your hotel after the concert? You said you would be in touch, but if you e-mailed me I wouldn't have gotten anything - I've changed servers recently and am still logged in on old address. If you still need a lift please pm me.If not have a great time at the concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
