French history

France still suffer from a tremendous ability to self destruct particularly when they play away from home. The side is still full of players with great flair and natural ability but even with Bernard Laporte and his discipline they frequently fall at the last hurdle in major competition. 2007 will be a watershed season for Les Blues as they host the Rugby World Cup.

The home of French rugby union used to be Parc de Princes, but with its opening in 1998, the stadium in St Denis replaced it. If you want a hotel near the Stade de France when you are popping over for a French international game, see what Matchhotels have to offer.
