French UEFA Cup Clubs?

[morky]

Can anybody tell me what French clubs apart from Lens will be in the UEFA Cup this Season please? I'm hoping there are some clubs in the North involved because I want to drive to any Everton games in France, Belgium or Holland from Liverpool.

Thanks.

The other french clubs in the UEFA Cup this season are: Sochaux, Bordeaux and Rennes.

Rennes isn't exactly in the North but it's the closest you can get apart from Lens. Nice city, btw (many students... ;) ).

Thanks mate.

Fingers crossed we will get Lens then, if we do get a French team.

You could also get Lyon when they'll finish 3rd of their UCL group stage :D
However Lyon is in the center east of France...

Lyon is very close to Switzerland isn't it?

I might just get a cheap flight for anything too far away.

Yes it is close to Switzerland but first you'll have to reach the round of 32 too!

or you can go to Marseille when they'll get the 3rd place in Champions League's group stage :p

Héhé, but he will definitely not go to Paris! :D

One of my best friends is from Paris and he detests Paris and Parisians.

:eek:

I want to go to Paris as I've never been, but he hates French people so much he has killed the idea for me.

Why not consider German clubs ?
Hamburg might have a shot although they're still in the Intertoto. Just 2 hour drive from Holland.

Yeah, I've done that drive countless times as I used to live in Germany mate. There are now flights from Liverpool to Paderborn so it's just a pity that Dortmund aren't in Europe.

I know Bremen are in the Champions League, but I've been to see them play and would really love to follow Everton there as well.

Sorry, Lens drew Young Boys from Switzerland.
