Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau

How to get to the Louis Fonteneau

By Tram

Line 1. Tram in the direction of Beaujoire, which is also where you get off. You can catch the tram from the main railway station. This is a low cost option and very short journey.
The tram operates until approx 11pm.
The train operates after 11 but the journey is complicated, we would advise supporters to make their way to the centre before 11pm.

By Taxi

11 euros from the centre to the stadium.

By Bus

Take the C6 bus from central to stadium. Hotel de Ville - Batignolles every 10 mins.
Buses run from early morning until after midnight.

By Shuttle

This is very likely to be a stadium shuttle. Will update when we know more.
