Game Day Paris

Another scorcher today - temperatures have been in the mid 30s both days. Even so we ventured out - we had tickets to the Musee de L’Orangerie, the purpose built gallery for Monet’s huge lily garden paintings. En route we came across the huge RWC village set up at Place de Concorde - got some new merchandise - another RWC pin to add to my collection and hat and socks!
Then a walk around the Eiffel Tower before heading home for a cold shower to cool down and catch the metro to Stade de France to play Georgia. A crowd of 75,700 packed the stadium and an impressive win by Australia - certainly some outstanding new young players coming through.
Tomorrow we leave Paris and head to Burgundy for a week!Read more
