The #TousenFrance fan packages are a 24-hour-experience that brings fans to Lyon, Bordeaux or Nice in full Red Devils atmosphere from departure up until the arrival in France. From there a bus takes them to the stadium or the fan zone. After the game, the fan flight takes them back to Belgium the same night.
