There are several famous locations within France which are set to host the most famous tournament in the international rugby calendar. To help you plan your trip, we have selected just a few of our top tourist attractions within the various cities below!
The Eiffel Tower - Paris
Of course, it would only make sense to begin with the capital, Paris. As one of the host cities for Rugby World Cup 2023, there is plenty to experience before, or after, your match! If you’re looking to tick one off your bucket list, then the Eiffel Tower is a top pick - just make sure to bring your camera for those Instagram shots!
Promenade des Anglais - Nice
If Nice just so happens to be the host city for your match, then why not head to the breathtaking Promenade des Anglais? As an integral part of the city since it was built in the 1820s, Promenade des Anglais stretches for 7km next to the Mediterranean. Alternatively, if you fancy soaking up the beauty of Nice, then take a seat on one of the many benches or take shade beneath the pergolas and palm trees - you will truly feel relaxed in no time!
The Louvre - Paris
Are museums more your thing? Then the world-famous Louvre is a must! Being the world’s largest museum, the Louvre was once home to the French kings including King Louis XIV before it was converted to a museum after the French revolution is the 18th century. From experience, we always find that there are always long queues so don’t forget to book your tickets online in advance!
Vieux Lyon - Lyon
As well as its fantastic selection of food (there’s a reason why it’s known as the culinary capital!), Lyon is also famous for its historic tourist attractions. In particular, we would recommend visiting Vieux Lyon.
As one of the largest renaissance old quarters in Europe, Vieux Lyon still features 300 gothic, Italian renaissance and French Renaissance style homes dating back to the 15th, 16th and 17th century. Fast forward to today and you can still see the resourceful ways this city contributed towards the silk industry. Worth a visit if you’re into historical buildings!
Château des Ducs de Bretagne - Nantes
Is your match being hosted in Nantes? One of Nantes most historical attractions is the Château des Ducs de Bretagne. Originally built in the 13th century, the castle was occupied for 300 years by the Dukes before it became a French royal residence in the 1500s.
If your trip is based on a tight budget, then feel free to explore the courtyard and ramparts within the castle which are open to the public free of charge. Alternatively, if you would like to explore the castle in more depth then why not pay a little extra and visit the Nantes History, which reveals the different stages in the city’s evolution, from the slave trade to its time as an industrial port? You will be amazed at the sheer history of Château des Ducs de Bretagne!
