This tour, aptly named La Grande provides 18 nights in some of the most breathtakingly scenic and historic places in France. Sprinkle in 5 of the best pool matches in the tournament and you have a trip not to be missed. Begin in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Lyon and take a merry journey through a place of rich history and unique atmosphere. Touch upon the alpine town of Annecy, a jewel of nature and truly picturesque, before reaching the \u201cCapital of the Alps\u201d, Grenoble where you will be nestled in a culturally enriched city amongst magnificent mountains. You will be further spoilt by fascinating cities like the beautiful Clermont-Ferrand where you will be treated with lunch at ASM Clermont-Auvergne Rugby Club, then venturing on to the UNESCO heritage town of Sarlat-la-Caneda, a city of art and history. No trip to France is complete without wine, so Bordeaux was a must. Paris is the final chapter in this fairytale trip, and the match between Ireland and Scotland and of course Australia and Wales will surely provide the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n
