There is nothing quite like the atmosphere of a major sporting event and the Rugby World Cup truly is up there with the biggest on the sporting calendar. 

But it takes the right city, or region, to capture the atmosphere properly and after spending a few days in and around Paris during the World Cup, I’ve got no doubt that next year’s Olympics will be a massive success and well worth a visit for any Australian considering a trip. 

I also wouldn’t mind a week at Roland Garros, or spending some time around the Tour de France either, but it’s probably best I don’t get too greedy for now.
