The matches in Marseille and Nice can easily be combined with a visit to the most beautiful places on the coast of the Mediterranean in the South of France: Saint-Tropez and Monaco.
Saint-Tropez is located between the host cities of Marseille and Nice. This small port city on the Côte d’Azur is known for its glitter and glamour. In the harbor you can admire the most beautiful yachts and on the boulevard you can see the most expensive sports cars passing by. There are also many beaches nearby, where the celebrities and television stars like to come.
In Southern France we find another world famous place full of glamour: Monaco. In this sovereign city-state you can visit the Prince’s Palace, the Formula 1 circuit or the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Monaco is located east of Nice, an half an hour drive away. You can also reach Monaco from Marseille, that trip takes 2.5 hours by car or bus.
The schedule of the RWC 2023 gives rugby fans the chance to follow their favourite team and discover the most beautiful cities in France.
New Zealand plays in the pool phase in Saint-Denis (Paris), Toulouse and twice in Lyon. Toulouse is located close to the Spanish border. Lyon used to be an important city of the Romans and is now the third largest city in France. Both very suitable for an interesting city trip!
South Africa starts in Marseille and then moves to Bordeaux, Saint-Denis (Paris) to return to Marseille for the final match. That gives fans enough possibilities to discover the different cities. Marseille has a beautiful port, Bordeaux is known for its good wines and we all know how amazing Paris is.
