Bourgoin or Lyon.
...............doesn't seem to be much in Bourgoin, would it be better to stay in Lyon?

Lyon's pretty ugly around the train station and suburbs - but quite nice by the rivers, and loads of fantastic restaurants (I think it has the highest density of michelin stars in the world or some such..) I think it can be quite pricy for hotels but it's quite a while since i stayed there..

I was there the last time - our first time in Europe as champions - Joe Fatty Fijian eating dirt throughout - coldest I've ever been at a match - thanks goodness for the vin chaude. Remember this is north of the usual sunny south of France rugby we are used to.
Lyon is a great place to stay - as has been pointed out some brilliant restaurants (though I did see Andy Ward eating in MacDonalds there!). I would suggest staying in Lyon - but going to Bourgoin on the morning of the match. The rugby club have an excellent shop in the town - full of claret and blue souvenirs (of which I, naturally, approve). The locals love their rugby and will make us all very welcome.
