Ben Dirs

French girls and heart Aix (57)

Aix-en-Provence - 鈥淏en, France at this time of year is like a 35-year-old woman 鈥 blooming and ready for anything.鈥

An Englishman says that to you, and you laugh in his face. Manu, owner of the Web Bar in , says it to you and you want to grab him by the cheeks and plant a big kiss on his forehead.

Aaah, Saint-Emilion. Aaah, 35-year-old women. Add a couple of bottles of the local Grand Cru and an eggshell blue sky and you鈥檝e pretty much got the ingredients for the perfect afternoon.

Unfortunately, I had to make do with a 33-year-old male fitness freak in a seriously funky vest, but it was still an improvement on five Stellas down The Archers on a Saturday afternoon.

Saint-Emilion

The -listed Saint-Emilion has been knocking out top-notch vino since Roman times and the wise old fruit must have seen me coming just as I left .

Just over 100 euros didn鈥檛 seem too bad for six bottles of 2000 Chateau la Sergue (it鈥檚 got a smashing label鈥) until Manu told me I could have picked them up for half the price down the local hyper-marche.

I am already one bottle down as fellow blogger Danny Coyle, of magazine and Campion Old Boys RFC, paid a visit in Montpellier, and you鈥檝e got to dig out the proper stuff when a fellow Campionite comes knocking.

From strangely beguiling Montpellier, on Monday we travelled to Aix-en-Provence, home to the for the first few weeks of the World Cup.

And as Tom mentioned yesterday, when you鈥檙e covering the sort of distances we鈥檙e covering, you dredge up some pretty odd conversations along the way.

For example, we took a break from talking about people back in the office to discuss which air instruments we play when listening to Won鈥檛 Get Fooled Again.

Tom and Ben's route through France

I鈥檓 Entwistle on bass for most of it, briefly switch to Moon on drums just before Daltrey鈥檚 primeval scream, but strap the bass back on for the final stretch.

Interestingly, Tommy is Moon for most of it, but switches to Daltrey (in high-waisted flares, tassled suede jacket and Cuban heels) for the primeval scream.

If any amateur, or professional, psychologists out there can tell us what this might mean, please get in touch.

We have also invented a new game, ", Ubogu", in tribute to the former Bath and England prop who has been in touch via this blog. Parker Brothers, if you don鈥檛 pick up on it, Waddingtons will.

Basically, you have to see how many times you can say "Ubogu" without taking a breath. Tom holds the current world record with 35. I can鈥檛 get past nine without giggling.

And no cheating 鈥 failure to enunciate the first "u" should result in instant disqualification.

The plan for the next couple of days is to watch the train in Aix before heading down to Marseille for a chat with some of the Namibian boys.

, who we see take on Argentina on Saturday, have the tallest, shortest and heaviest players at this year鈥檚 tournament.

Unfortunately, the didn鈥檛 make the squad, so that outfit will go back to the fancy dress place unused. Wasn鈥檛 Bungle a bear anyway?
Tommy?

We arrived at the vast Chantecler campsite under the cover of night, and I鈥檓 guessing there will only be a few hardcore New Zealanders around as the rest head to Edinburgh for the Scotland match.

If anyone knows of any cheeky spots in where we can have a few jars and watch Scotland-Romania, of any decent campsites near the centre of Marseille, or if anyone needs a lift down on Wednesday, please let us know.

PS. It鈥檚 all very well having fairytale chateaux and classy ladies, but when a gentleman can鈥檛 get a haircut in Montpellier because all the coiffeurs have put their feet up for the afternoon, that鈥檚 not cricket. No wonder the economy鈥檚 knackered.

PPS. Talking of classy ladies, why is it that every second woman you see in this country is knockout while most of the men are just as ropey as English blokes?

Morning Gents,

The trip to Nantes on Friday will definitely fly past now that you've shared your little game with us. To be honest I don't find Kiwis smug at all. Most of the ones I've spoken to fear they'll capitulate as they have done since 1987. That said they do look strong. How are the supplies of biccies lasting? As my friends and I are about to set off down to Nantes is there any food items you wouldn't recommend taking? If you get anywhere near the Kiwis during their training sessions don't take any photos; we don't want another spying row.

Got to agree whole heartedly about the ladies Ben. Having spent the last two weekends in Bordeaux the lads and I have decided that the average French lady is considerably hotter than her British counterpart. Whilst the men are either not into the ladies or are as ugly as their British counterparts or both.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Parisian ladies at the weekend.

You twit, Perfectly good red wine can be bought for 5 or 6 euros. They can't give it away. The stuff you bought was meant to lie in a cellar for about 10years... What waste..If you want a haircut, Try saying Raz ma tete completement.
Should cool you down :-)
Enjoy it you are only about 2 hours from the med. Isn't the weather nice today :-))
If you must drink the wine, when you open the bottle, pour out about half a glass and then leave the bottle standing open for about 2 hours....it will taste better I promise.

Yes I also think that the All Blacks might nick it this year. Aix is overrated though ; nice buildings but full of bimbos (called "cagoles" here) and beach boys but the selection of English/Irish pubs looks alright in the historic centre and also rue d'Italie. Marseille on the other hand is a real city with real people strangely passionate about OM although I can't work out why.

I was down that way last week. Getting the last bit of warmth before another hard winter. I stayed in a camp site in a place called Carry. It is about 20 mins from Marseille though, but it is on a nice beach and about 4 mins the other side of the town. If you head north from there I visited a great vinyard - Mas de le Dame. Had very good and reasonably priced wines! Also a house wine for 1.85 per litre which was not as bad as the price may suggest... Anyway, driving into the city is a nightmare, so set off very early or at lunch time. Took me 3 hours to cross town, but I did see the Italian bus with 4 police cars guiding it through town...

Sheesh, you guy's have a hard life. I like the idea of your new game but I feel you need to expand it into a six-nations version so you have; Ubugu (Eng), McGlauchlin (Sco), Barry-John (Wal), O'Driscoll (Ire), Bergamasco (Ita), Blanco (Fra) - count the scores for each, add them together and see who wins? To make it interesting, an appropriate national beverage between names, i.e Whisky, Guiness, Creme de Menthe.... Could you tell I'm a scot

Thanks for the tip on the new game 'Ubogu', I'll try and introduce it to a few friends when I'm in Nantes this weekend, you never know it could catch on!

I've been looking at campsites close to Marseille as well, and the nearest I can come up with is Camping Marina Plage Vitrolles 13127)which is about 12 miles away. If you find anything else that's decent and closer perhaps you can put it on this blog.

As far as Aix goes , you can either head to the old part of town , plenty of small,pleasant squares , full of bars and restaurants and a number of them will have screens or cour Mirabeau is lined with restaurants and bars, again a number of them will have screens inside and /or out. However you have a problem with regard to the rugby, Marseille play tonight. So you might be enjoying a longer walk than anticipated.

I lived in Aix for a year and its a great place to go. Beautiful weather, women and atmosphere. For the match I would suggest the Red Clover Irish pub (they do happy hour if I remember correctly from 4-8pm) which is very central, just on rue verrerie. A great place to go afterwards is the "Bistrot Aixois" which is located about a 5 minute walk from there and very close to the main boulevard called the Cours Mirabeau.

Absolutely brilliant town and only about 20 minutes from Marseilles. If you are going there go to Prado which is area beside the Stade Veledrome, really nice beaches etc. A great pub there called O'Bradys too which is great for matches.

Mark, I am very sorry to report that the Red Clover closed some time ago following a fire. Your best bet for an authentic French bar (including a hole in the floor style bog) is the Bar des PTT in the Place Richelme (old town). It is a tiny place but Marcial is an exceptional host and its where I used to go for post-match Pastis with my rugby team in Aix. Failing that, try O'Neils or Le Manoir (Freddy is the bouncer) for rugby - you may be lucky.

I've just returned from a week in Aix and can highly recommend Pub O'Sullivans just off the Cour Mirabeau. Not for the rugby, but following on from your opening paragraph, just to sit at the bar and marvel at the blonde barmaid.
On the other hand avoid the fondue place. A plate of raw meat covered in hot chips is a health and safety nightmare and a dicky stomach waiting to happen.
For the rugby theres a bar near the Post Office that puts a TV outside for the games. You can't miss it, if it had anymore RWC banners or posters hanging from it you'd think the IRB owned it.

Ben,

I'm surprised that after 6 bottles of Chateau la Sergue only 50% of the women are attractive, when I've drunk that much wine they all look stunning to me.

When no more than 1 or 2 out of 10 look attractive you know you are sober enough to drive.

If the blokes start looking attractive stop drinking wine and go for a gallon of black coffee.


Cheers fella!

Ben, having spent the first week of RWC in Aix, I'd try O'Sullivans in Rue d'Espairat. It's very close to the main roundabout in town and is the most un-Irish, Irish bar in the world. Couple of tv screens -- I recommend the one at the front of the bar where you can witness all of the stunning-looking French undergraduates put the world to rights just outside the front door. The waitresses are friendly, the beer strong and the atmosphere relaxed.
