Hi i want go (and i'm not only one). Because of past Brony Days were really cool.

The BronyDays offer a carpool service so you don't feel lonely during the roadtrip.

This service is only available in french but its usage is very simple, don't hesitate to ask any questions regarding this service.

Thank you very much! I hope that you can be present.

So there will be 6 (or 7) of us heading to BronyDays I'm really looking forward to see 'ya all guys

The biggest issue so far is (or was) the transportation - flights to Nantes are really bad (only twice a week and not exactly cheap compared to other similar destinations). One group goes by car from Bratislava (18 hours long trip in one way) because of expensive flights. The second group (including me) booked the return flight tickets (Thursday arrival, Monday departure), but after few days the flight company changed the departure to Sunday morning, so in the end, we flight to Nantes, and back we go by train to Paris and then by plane back to Prague, because we don't want to miss the half of the con. It's not the fault of organizers of course, I just wanna inform you about this issue in case you didn't know.

We are staying in nearby Ibis hotel (thanks for accommodation suggestions!), some of us from Thursday, some people arrive on Friday.

Is there any pre-con meet planned or semi-planned?
