THE 2023 Rugby World Cup kicked off last night with a star-studded opening ceremony.
This year the tournament is taking place in France and five of the matches will be hosted in the city of Toulouse at the Stadium de Toulouse where Japan will take on Chile tomorrow.
So if you’re heading to the city for a slice of the action, here’s how to make the most of its bouncing bars and magnificent architecture – plus where to catch the match if you haven’t scored tickets.
BORDEAUX often takes precedence when plotting a wine-themed trip to France, but Toulouse shouldn’t be overlooked.
Some even say it is the world’s wine capital with plenty of excellent spots to drink the stuff.
