Lens going oval!
Lens will be the smallest French town to host the 2007 Rugby World Cup. From the town centre to the military cemeteries, without forgetting the slag heaps, here are a few sites to visit before the matches and... the opening of the Louvre annex in 2009.

Take a look at the broad range of promotional offers available in our Hotel booking section and prepare your summer holidays in peace.
 




IN THE HEADLINES
Test drive: Dodge Nitro
The Dodge Nitro has just arrived in Europe and is trying to make a place for itself in the herd of SUVs. More for its looks than its performance.

TEST BENCH
Chrysler Sebring
The Chrysler Sebring offers a little touch of the exotic, at a price that invites indulgence. But will this be enough to make up for a diesel engine that lacks oomph and a finish that is too flimsy?

The new Twingo has arrived!
Despite the mixed reception that it has so far received in France, one can only emphasise its versatility, capacity and economy. A real compact saloon that is dynamic and trendy!

WHAT'S NEW
AMG celebrates its 40th anniversary!
The little company created in 1967 has now become a world benchmark in the automobile industry.

TWO-WHEELER
Honda S-Wing 125 ABS-CBS
Except for the extensively revised design, the new Honda S-Wing adopts all the attributes of the old Pantheon, which it replaces in the 125 GT segment.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Game, set and match: Babolat Propulse is a smash!
The new Babolat Propulse tennis shoes are equipped with a revolutionary sole derived directly from Michelin motor racing know-how.


Latest tests drive

Audi R8 4.2 FSI R Tronic coupé
Three-door BMW 1 Series
BMW 5 Series and 5 Series Touring

DESTINATIONS
Slide show: My beautiful slag heap aka Lens!
From the twin slag heaps at Loos-en-Gohelle, the panoramic view extends as far as Belgium. The pioneering association Chaîne des Terrils proposes walks to discover this emblem of the mining heritage now colonised by fauna and flora.


GASTRONOMY
Gueuze, nectar of Brussels
Among the nearly 500 beers that are the pride of the kingdom, a category particularly distinguishes itself as it is made only in Belgium: spontaneous fermentation beers. Particularly refreshing beers ideal in sunny weather.


WEEKEND IDEA
All Aboard For Bangla Town
If you thought fish and chips was Britain's favourite dish, think again. A recent survey showed it is actually chicken tikka massala. And there's no better place to eat it than the famous curry houses of Brick ***.


Stoke Newington
Emblematic of another London, with small forgotten gardens and villages progressively swallowed up by the capital, Stoke Newington is the stage for an amazing fusion between the city and its suburbs.
