It ´s only close every sunday like always
We just have to check in their Facebook a cup of days before to check that it ´s really open !
Ahh, that's good news. I thought I'd have to give CHI a slap for making us book a day in Paris on a Bank Holiday, haha. (−_−;)

Ratikal (USA), faiseur de magie sur Eschatos
Erppo (Finlande), ingénieux joueur de DoDonPachi Dai Fukkatsu Black Level
Jaimers (Hollande), maître absolu de Dangun Feveron
Yom (France), une vedette sur Akai Katana

Man this is going to be so cool!

I'm still trying to work out lodging. As I said before I can definitely pay my portion of a room for the full duration, so if anyone has an opening or knows of one please let me know.

I will gladly pay to sleep on the floor lol, just need somewhere to crash and would prefer not to book an entire room for just myself.

If anyone can help out it would be great (or point me somewhere to ask around, I've already spoken with a few people without success).

I may be able to help out... I have a twin room booked for Fri, Sat, Sun but not the Thurs. It's where I stayed last year, not the best but right next door to where the others are staying and close to venue.

Let me know if interested and I can confirm details.

I have mate... I had a twin room booked for Fri, Sat & Sun - Softdrink has sortie something else for the Thursday. We're in the same place I was last year which is next to where you are staying. Not the greatest place in the world but it'll do.

I'll be getting in touch with people this week to swap contact details so we can arrange meet-ups when we're in Rennes.
Especially since there's a pretty big group coming this year. :3

Wow, so the Hotel Le Bretagne decided to close for 2 months come May 10th, which means that Plasmo and I now have no room atm. Can anyone here suggest anything?

What? That really sucks. :<
Try our hotel next door, the Kyriad Central, or the Inter-Hotel le Sevigne around the corner. (Details in the OP.)
If anything though, they should put you guys up at an alternate location for the inconvenience, especially since you booked well in advance. I'd complain.

Yeah, it is pretty annnoying. Looked at the other places, they are quite a bit more expensive atm. Might go for AirBNB. Have to check with Plasmo.

Shit, that's where we are staying. Did you book directly with them or through somewhere like booking.com? Last time this happened to me booking.com found alternative accommodation.

EDIT: Okay, I've gone and booked the Ibis which is very close and to be honest looks a nicer place. Also, it wasn't much more than what I paid for the Hotel Le Bretagne.

Yeah, I booked through them. Found something slightly more expensive (but with breakfast) on AirBNB.

We did not pay anything so far, apart from a small downpayment for the reservation, which a french friend of mine paid because they were quite hard to communicate with in English. He said he'll call them about it, and I reckon if they don't refund him I will.

I don't have the energy to hassle them for compensation though. Too much pain in the ass for what it is worth.

Welp, already phoned to the Sociotel and youth hostel and they're both full.
If someone here knows another cheap alternative nearby it would be most welcome, as I don't have the money to pay €30+ by myself for a night. :cry:
