Last stop St Malo. It’s still summer in October so time for another sea swim.

Final game of our #RWC2023 grand voyage. #JAPvARG. Great characters in the crowd and great match on the pitch. Thank you @JRFURugby

Lyon Lido has a great location. A swim before the amazing atmosphere at #FRAvITA Allez les bleus! 🇫🇷

Chateauneuf du Pape was en route as we returned to Lyon. Beautiful village and great wines to drink when we’re home.

Heading north from Marseille again, back to Avignon via le Pont du Gard and a refreshing dip in the Garonne.

Good to be back in Marseille where our first #RWC2023 match happened weeks ago. So much to see as the sun still shines. ☀️☀️☀️

A stopover in Avignon then the TGV to Marseille. It’s hot down south ☀️ and @officialTongaRU made it tough for South Africa

@AllBlacks were on fire tonight. 🔥 Smithy’s favourite match so far. Perfect sunset in Lyon too.

Cycling In Beaujolais wine country was a lovely way to spend the day. The goats on the cycle way were an added attraction 🐐

Back to Lyon for a cracking game. #URUvNAM Lovely lunch too.

Had to come to Annecy on our holiday in a holiday. Twinned with Cheltenham. It would be wrong to have a favourite but Annecy is beautiful

A holiday in a holiday as we head off to the hills. First stop Aix les Bains to a boutique hotel, a dunk in the lake and another lovely meal

Big match day #WALVAUS. Great seats again and an unexpected big win. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Lyon for a few days as we start our #RWC2023 Lyon City Pack. Plenty of time to explore (and eat)

[Retirement @wrightysmithy]

St Etienne gets our prize for best #RWC2023 host. Great Fan Village, great decorations and great cakes. #ARGVSAM

An overnight in wine country on our way up to St Etienne. Mr Chapoutier in Hermitage allowed us to stock up. 🍷

Rugby day and nearly an upset. #itavuru We caught the tram not the bike

[Retirement @wrightysmithy]

Another beautiful day on the Côte d’Azur. Still Summer here.

Time to make the most of our Travel Pass so hopped around Nice and Villefrance on the trams and buses today
