I'll probably make a week of it and travel on somewhere else in France. If you're looking for cheap accommodation, try Formule 1, Ibis and Mercure hotels. Usually a bit out of the way, e.g. in commercial districts rather than tourist hot-spots, fairly basic but perfectly adequate for a short trip.

Brian if I was going on my own I would probably look at what sports tours offer in terms of travel and accommodation.

Am I right in thinking that this year I dont have to get my Doctors note sent in advance , but just have to take it along with me to registration ?

Me too. But I had completely forgotten about that, so I should probably phone up the GP...

In previous years i have had to send it off in advance and then the website updated to show they has recieved it
and you were officially in . My Doc wanted to charge me £20 for the certificate the first time
( as if they don't earn enough already !) ... but he backed down when I told him
I was running it for charity ......tight git declined to sponsor me tho !

Still have a med cert from May last year so that should do me for Paris.
No accom arranged yet but making a big trip of it: Paris on the Friday night, off to Reims on the Monday for a couple of days of champagne-quaffing, then to Athlone in Ireland for a wedding, Dublin for our anniversary, then home. It sounds like the holiday will be more knackering than the marathon
