      Paris is pretty dead in August, everyone is on holiday, so not really surprising. best time to visit Paris btw, even though it can be very hot.

          I'm actually going there in December for the first time properly. I was there 16 years ago but it doesn't really count as I was there only for a day and don't remember anything. I'll be hitting you up for suggestions closer to the time.

              Just a weekend. Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. The missus fancied a weekend away. She's been there a few times before I think and her French is much better than mine, so at least one of us will have a clue what we're at.

                  Long may it continue. Strong team too. France should probably be further ahead even based on their dominance.

                      i hope so, but watch the French going backwards off the kick off (really hope i'm wrong though)

                                          Yeah that's it! A tiny bit down from there. Picotta is no.1 restaurant on TripAdvisor so you need permission to breath in its vicinity. Apparently wood-burning your food gets you rarified status.

                                          On that note: anyone watched Chef's Table on Netflix?
                                          Having a virtual trip around Rennes this afternoon is one of the weirdest things I have done. Looks like a cool place tbf.

                                                      careful though. it's a small town, everyone will know all your business very quickly, so mind your image a little.

                                                        Lots of things to see and do. December is a very nice time to visit Paris. Chestnuts roasting on street corners and great little restaurants and bars to nip into.

                                                        Btw I refer to my comments earlier in the week re France in the RWC.

                                                          The English are completely discombobulated. French are playing well and very solid, but definitely not setting things on fire. Don't get me wrong, i'm delighted, but there's a long way to go, and consitency is where the French fall short.

Handshake for the dudes and then a go at the line of the chicks at the bar kissing everyone. Takes a while.
