Rugby World Cup venue guide - Lens

Rugby world cup
comment on the article

Ground: Stade Felix-Bollaert
Capacity: 41,649
Matches: England v USA (Saturday 8 September - 1700 BST)
South Africa v Tonga (Saturday 22 September - 1300 BST)
Georgia v Namibia (Wednesday 26 September - 1700 BST)

Lens is a coal-mining town situated in the far north-east of France, and this September its Stade Felix-Bollaert will play host to three World Cup matches.

Its proximity to the coast means plenty of England fans are likely to be making a day-trip over for the first of those games, against the USA on the opening weekend of the tournament, and we want your help to compile the ultimate guide to the city.

What are the city's highlights? Where are the good places to go out for the night? Do you know of any good places to stay in the city - or maybe somewhere else down the road which might not be so busy?

After the final whistle, where are the best places to go - and aside from the matches themselves, what other delights does the region have to offer, so people can fully enjoy their visit?

Please add your suggestions here.
