Novotel is nearest - but that's the official hotel, so it may be fully booked.Hi everyone. Just wanted to ask which Mercure or Novotel Hotel is closest to the rink. I was checking Mercure Hotel and there seems to be several in Bordeaux.
Thanks.
Just wondering which of you are going to attend TEB 2015?
It will be my second visit to the city of wine. Flying in from Amsterdam and staying at the Ibis near the rink.
The official hotel is Novotel.last year skaters were in Mercure and they had a nice walk to the venue. don't know if it's Mercure this year again or did they change to Novotel? flying in from Amsterdam on Friday. weather looks to be quite good. pity that Amodio wd. is there already news about P/C?
Ah, I must apologise in advance: I'm not much of a "reporter"... at least not during the actual event. No internet access unless I'm back at the hotel, and the time I'm there is basically just wash, eat, sleep...@YesWay looking forward to your reports!
If you don't have reserved seats, then yes... but bear in mind it's not a huge venue... the last of the reserved seating is the 6th row... so you're never very far from the rink. You can get a good view from almost anywhere - except the front rows (where staff and coaches will stand in the walkway in front of you, and there's likely to be a huge TV camera obscuring one quarter of the rink... )I'll be going for the first time this year !
But since the seats are not reserved, do I need to arrive a bit early to be sure to get a good view ?
Bonjour everyone! The Blade Boys will be at TEB! :dance:
Similar to our Nebelhorn Trophy coverage, we will be trying to get some practice videos and we also have some fun and feisty interviews lined up.
We're very excited to cover our very first Grand Prix event, so stay tuned! And come say hi if you see us there.
Glad to see you here on GoldenSkate. Welcome and thanks for the good news re your TEB coverage. :hap36:
Look forward to it. :hap93:
Really appreciated all your Nebelhorn coverage. :dance2:
ETA, question:
Do you plan to use #TEB15 or #GPBordeaux? I see that the ISU is using two official hashtags (unfortunately, IMO).
Well, I'd allow more than half an hour on Saturday, even if you don't plan to join the race to the best or most popular unreserved seats.Thank you very much !
I'll guess I'll be there a good half an hour before, since I'm going on Saturday
