OK, let's focus .... where to stay in Paris during the World Cup?

Now that the Bledisloe and Tri Nations Cups have gone across the Tasman it's time to refocus on the Rugby World Cup in September.

I've found a useful website if you're searching for a chic hotel in the chic-est city in the world - Paris. www.splendia.com lists all sorts of boutique hotels noted for their funky atmospheres and proximity to shopping meccas :-)

For example, the above suite is housed in the tres chic Hotel Castille Paris. It's on the Rue Cambon - the same street as the High Temple of Chic (and Chic Rugby's house of worship), Chanel.

Happy Holidays!
